Yeah, I think we've used that for this use case before, it just seems
a bit inconvenient for this case where it should be normal to want to
wrap ref-counted data. Maybe we could at least add an example to the
bitmap api docs introducing how to use _set_user_data() for this case
since it's not currently very discoverable.
