Does this still work if the GC compacts memory? I don't know much about GCs, but it seems like once your GC is advanced enough with generational collecting, compacting, etc, then allowing raw pointers seems at odds with what the GC is trying todo. I'm sure it's possible, but it's probably a heck of a lot easier just to not allow pointers.
