As far as I can see, besides the C wrapper OGR_FD_GetReferenceCount(), 
it is only used once in our code base (so could be a protected method 
with a friend). I'd assume it would be very rarely used in external 
code, but if we hide it, they'll be stuck.

@Montchil For your purpose of doing bindings, could you deal with the 
"const OGRFeatureDefn*" (besides the ref count issue), or don't you need 
to const_cast it anyway to "OGRFeatureDefn*" ?
