In the new patch set, the implementation is now completely changed to 
use shared pointers.

After the shared pointers switch, the only part that still uses the 
reference counting is the closure class for the computed struct value 
object support.

Unfortunately, this cant be changed without a bigger change of how those 
computed struct value callbacks work and I feel that is outside of the 
scope of this patch set.
