Via Erik, a link to Bob McWhirter talking about Gilgul, a Java language extension that does this:
One of the key features seems to be allowing an object reference to actually be a reference-to-a-reference but still used without the programmer being aware of the double indirection.
For those of you with C/C++ backgrounds, gilgul seems to add pointer to a pointer with automagic deference semantics.
I need to see some code to see what problems this will solve. Wait a minute, I thought I linked to Gilgul before... I know I've come across it before... but where?
