"Pointers" are now supported in the DM language. Preceding any writable var, list item, etc. with the & operator will create a pointer, and that pointer can be read and written to by preceding it with the * operator. Proc-local vars are allowed to be used as pointer targets, so a sleeping proc's values can be altered in this way.
