Why does std.container.array use refcounted? Seems like serious 
overhead compared to std::vector in C++.

Apologies, wrote this inbetween classes and didn't bother to 
check array's implementation. I thought it was implying each item 
was individually wrapped by a refcounted i.e, not in a continuous 
block of memory and was confused.
