Nah, I'm inured to it by now. There's a complete lack of attribution
in open software apart from self attribution. I'm waiting for some
open source projects to get sued for patent infringement for something
that's in the public domain but they can't use that as a defense since
no one documented where the ideas originally came from. Probably has
already happened.

It does lessen the pressure to publish into the public domain if you
are not actually being paid to do stuff like that. Plus I
procrastinate somewhat so I am way behind on publishing non trivial
stuff. Or even hint about it.

Yeah. But it basically is atomic_ptr! Iirc, their "single target" still
uses double word! I have my word based collector I posted in the past.
It uses similar differential ref count. My single word proxy collector.
