Does that include when new'ing such a type?

  new Type(reference_to_be_lifetime_extended);

Does it get extended for the lifetime of the dynamic type? And how does the
destructor know to end it?

PS: the usual discussion about whether this should be an attribute or a full
keyword is missing. Remember: a compliant implementation of an attribute is to
do nothing.
