 Reference counting
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-As CBOR items may require complex cleanups at the end of their lifetime, there is a reference counting mechanism in place. This also enables very simple GC when integrating *libcbor* into managed environment. Every item starts its life (by either explicit creation, or as a result of parsing) with reference count set to 1. When the refcount reaches zero, it will be destroyed.
