This is tangentially related, but we might need to think about something like typed references in any event to enable various forms of round-trip language interoperability. That is, we could have references that are polymorphic depending on language context, so that different behaviors can be emulated depending on which facilities are native to the language and which are "borrowed" from some other language. Think of something which is simultaneously a P5 and a P6 object. Or pick any other pair/set of languages. Then again, if we can get away without such a facility, that's okay too. Larry
