But you do not need it anymore. When the last reference disappears, everything is finalized. So you just use ref/unref. Delete is simply unparent+unref, and applies just as well to objects that were initialized in place. The point of patch 3 is to get rid of the distinction between initialize and new. That distinction just shouldn't be there if you have reference counting. > It is not a bugfix anyway, so not needed for 1.3. Fair enough. Paolo
