This small refactoring will enable a world where ref() returns Node*, which is useful for https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106868. Also, while this refactoring does lead to slightly less terse code, it's also slightly more self-explanatory. I could never quite remember what the meaning of the bool return from ref() and deref() was.

Comment on attachment 183226 [details] the patch I don't understand what "exchangeAnd(Der|Re)f" is exchanging, so the meaning of the name doesn't seem obvious to me.
