 From my experience, you don't because at that point you would use some 
other kind of pointer. Most likely a reference counted pointer that can 
travel across DLL boundaries.

I think we all have to keep in mind the scope of this utility. It not 
meant to solve all the pointer uses. There's another utility that people 
keep asking for, the traits pointer.
