/* Refcounting tracking policy.
 * The implementation deserves some explanation; values are equipped with two
 * reference counts:
 *   - a regular count of active references
 *   - a deleter count
 * It looks like a value can be erased when the number of references reaches
 * zero, but this condition alone can lead to data races:
 *   - Thread A detaches the last reference to x and is preempted.
 *   - Thread B looks for x, finds it and attaches a reference to it.
 *   - Thread A resumes and proceeds with erasing x, leaving a dangling
 *     reference in thread B.
 * Here is where the deleter count comes into play. This count is
 * incremented when the reference count changes from 0 to 1, and decremented
 * when a thread is about to check a value for erasure; it can be seen that a
 * value is effectively erasable only when the deleter count goes down to 0
 * (unless there are dangling references due to abnormal program termination,
 * for instance if std::exit is called).
