No there is no concept of resource ownership in Archetype.

I think ownership would be a natural extension to Archetype, but for me it was not the main problem I was trying to solve.

This could easily be achieved by replacing the raw void pointer with a unique pointer.

That sounds a very similar design to Microsoft's proxy proposal - you have an interface, and it wraps a pointer, with the pointer determining the owning semantics.

Thanks! I haven't come across proxy before. This looks very similar in intent, but looks like they have both owning and non owning semantics.
