Hi,

Why is count a attribute of octave_value? Why is ref  *octave_value?
Shouldn't it be: count attribute of octave_base_value and 
octave_value::ref* octave_base_value?
Wouldn't it be better to make octave_value the proxy class and 
octave_base_value the referenced class? It is used this way anyway?

I'm just curios? Does anybody know the reason, I did not think of?

Thanks Jens
