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.
