why should there be a restriction on storing pointers? If you could

various pointers to other data structures within the object. That type
of a structure is immediately useable in a program. Much simpler than
the alternatives available today.

I really don't understand what you're talking about ... the concept of storing a memory pointer in persistent storage just doesn't make sense.
