You can do that today with *:5,GST_REFCOUNT:0 but I agree with Tim that we're
looking for a solution that does the right thing by default.

We could have categories that don't trigger with wildcards and require an
explicit match to be enabled, but I'm not convinced that buys us anything. In
particular because - as Tim noted on IRC - refcounting is done in a lot of
categories and you might want to put ie. X context refcounting into the
ximagesink category or use own categories for messages, elements, queries and
buffers.

I'm still not convinced "REFCOUNTING" is the best name for it, as it basically
excludes everything else, but it's by far the best solution for the given
problem.
