It would be a big patch. There are really no independent pieces if you
don't count the things I have done to make it build on the different
test systems (NetBSD etc.)

It is not very complicated, just a matter of replacing almost all
casts from char* to T* into little::ref, but the trick is to find
all these places. And as long as the mindset is not accepted upstream,
the patch will grow.
