Gah, I can't remember the details now, but I'm sure one of the interviewees in Coders At Work talks about this point. Something about how the notion of pointers/references is fundamentally wrong because it doesn't reflect our understanding of objects in RL. I realise I'm being tangential now, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
