Honestly, no. It doesn't really matter if we use a structure or
individual fields, but it seems like the problem being solved with an
extra reference interface is self imposed. Do we really need to double
increment the reference or can we just keep better track of the
reference we have? I suspect we can do the latter. Thanks,
