Just curious..I haven't seen any talk of this in quite a while. 
Has there been any progress worth getting excited over, or is 
this on the back burner?

Walter has been doing a bunch of work towards improving safe stuff, which, as I understand it, is required for us to add ref-counted classes. So, I think that it's on the back burner in the sense that it's not currently being worked on directly, but work _is_ being done towards it. - Jonathan M Davis
