Comment (by Olly Betts):

 In languages where we don't use directors (usually, perhaps always,
 because SWIG doesn't support them yet) I think we can just use `ref` and
 `unref`.  In this case the C++ object can live on beyond the target
 language proxy object because it doesn't need to be able to call back to
 it, so if the proxy object increments and decrements the C++ reference
 types it seems everything should work.  I haven't tested this yet though.
