A few minor comments: in the text cited below, please add the word
"otherwise" at the beginning of the second line, replace "other" by
"else" and "reference counter" by "reference counters".

// Do not use this function for anything other than decrementing
reference counter --
// this will confuse race detectors and will make them more
conservative and slow.
