Reference counting patch for Lua 5.1?

[Matt Campbell <mattc@...>]

Hello all:

I don't wish to debate reference counting versus mark-and-sweep.  I 
merely wish to try reference counting in my Lua 5.1-based project with a 
minimum of change (e.g. not switching to LuaPlus).  So does anyone know 
of a patch that adds reference counting to Lua 5.1?  Of course, I don't 
mean the Lua reference system, I mean reference counting as an 
alternative to mark-and-sweep GC.  Thanks.
