You have completely and utterly ignored every single argument against that.
Instead, you just continue to push your agenda.
The thing is, GUP works fine.
COW works fine.
The thing that is broken is clear_refs.
Yet you try to now "fix" the two fine cases, because you don't want to
fix clear_refs.
What part of "clear_refs is the _least_ important of the three cases"
are you not willing to understand?
