Agree. The prompt disposal of objects that live for longer than a
function is a problem. It would be really nice to have a new
attribute:

[ReferenceCount(true)]
class MyClass { ... }

The CLR team investigated all manner of solutions fairly exhaustively.
Because you could do something like:

object o = instanceOfMyClass;
object x = y;

etc, *every* assignment that could *possibly* be a reference-counted
type would need to check whether or not reference counting was
required. That's a painful performance hit.

I can see that would be a problem.
