Yeah...now that I think of it, if you want to share an object between two 
objects, then you may want to use reference counting.   

I personally haver never needed to use reference counting though.  Simply 
because I have somehow managed to never use sharing.  Not that I have avoided 
sharing....sharing just never came to my mind when coding.

Nevertheless, I agree with Stephane that TeXmacs code is not C++ like.  Not 
that it shadows any bad impressions on the author of the code itself.  I 
think Joris has done a remarkable job.  Not every C++ developer (like me) 
understands scheme, and going thru the code gives me a feeling that the code 
simply is not c++ like.
