Yes.  Indeed, the value of MyPointer may well point to storage
that's been returned to the free pool, so you need to be especially
careful if you do something like this.  If you still care that
MyPointer has a valid value, you need to assign the (possibly) new
value of GenericPointer to MyPointer to ensure it still points to
valid storage.
