Hi Heikki,
I think this approach is good. As I wrote in the first email, I had
briefly considered reference counting, but at the time I figured there
wasn't much point if it's only ever going to be 0 or 1, so I was
trying to find the smallest change. But as you explained, there is
already an interesting case where it goes to 2, and modelling it that
way removes a weird hack, so it's a net improvement over the unusual
'owner' concept. +1 for your version. Are there any further tidying
or other improvements you want to make?
