    Just make them internal and use [InternalsVisibleTo] on the assembly.

    The state-of-the-art in refcounting[1] greatly improves the barrier situation over a naïve implementation: no read barrier, and the write barrier only uses atomics when mutating an…

    State-of-the-art referencing counting does not require atomics on every single object; see for example https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3519939.3523440

    Unused code paths were once used or it was thought that they would be used. If you don't know if something is used, it's safest to assume it is being used or is there for some reas…
