Excuse me but I still dont register, why can you assume that

Excuse my intermittent "dropping off the planet" ;-)
Such special cases such as that are handled as special cases. I can
recall implementing a few, but can't recall which ones off the top of
my head.
Long story short, lest it get lost:
- there is truth to the assertion that floating can aid language bindings.
I do understand that "floating" objects as a concept may be usefull
to language bindings; since it seemingly provides an interface for
"single anonymous ownership", but as you concede, there are still
special-cases to be handled.
- nevertheless, i dislike the inconsistency of semantics and would
rather not have it.
Agreed.
Cheers,
