Pointers aren't really that useful in a high-level language.  (They can 
be useful in C, but C is not a high-level language.)

But you can do something similar with #become:... well, maybe it's not 
that similar. :)  Try this:

var := 'an object'.
pvar := var.

pvar become: 'new value'.

var ==> 'new value'
