My intention was to just use *existing* refcounting procedures, whose 
functionality and implementation is known both useful and correct. They 
only had to be applied to a new object (sub)type, in addition to Interfaces.

Also reference counting occurs by object, not by thread. Thread blocking 
is handled by the related critical section, and consequently deserve no ads.
