When I tried implementation of Unique which was not usable at all
though it was listed in a document, I faced a similar problem.
The patch of Kenji is intended to just solve this.
Even if these patch applied, some problems are left. (e.g.
Automatic definitions of the opEquals function for Objects / see
also: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/72 )
However, I think that the priority of these pull request is high.

I've already posted a dmd patch to fix all of opDispatch
problems:

With it, I've posted a useful library utility to implement
'super-type' like D1 typedef:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/300
I'm naming it 'ProxyOf', and it supports various of forwardings,
function call, property access, and specialized template member
function.

Following up to this, how do I access non-function members of
the held
object? e.g.
struct Foo
{
int x = 1;
}
void main()
{
RefCounted!Foo f;
writeln(f.x); // Doesn't work
}
We can easily have opDispatch look at field names. But I think
it's poor
design to expose bald data anyway.
Also, what about template member functions of the held object?
struct Foo
{
int get(int X)() { return X; }
}
void main()
{
RefCounted!Foo f;
writeln(f.get!123()); // Doesn't work either
}
This is a problem.
