* RefCounted<T> is a sort of a "mixin" for a class T. RefCounted

* parameterized on T, RefCounted<T> can call T's destructor directly.
* This means T doesn't need to have a virtual dtor and so doesn't
* need a vtable.
*
* RefCounted<T> is created with refcount == 0. Newly-allocated
* RefCounted<T> must immediately be assigned to a RefPtr to make the
* refcount > 0. It's an error to allocate and free a bare
* RefCounted<T>, i.e. outside of the RefPtr machinery. Attempts to
* do so will abort DEBUG builds.
*
* Live RefCounted<T> have refcount > 0. The lifetime (refcounts) of
* live RefCounted<T> are controlled by RefPtr<T> and
* RefPtr<super/subclass of T>. Upon a transition from refcounted==1
* to 0, the RefCounted<T> "dies" and is destroyed. The "destroyed"
* state is represented in DEBUG builds by refcount==-0xdead. This
* state distinguishes use-before-ref (refcount==0) from
* use-after-destroy (refcount==-0xdead).
