Just a minor clarification, you should probably be saying "no programmer-
visible pointers" rather than "no pointers."  An unqualified "no pointers"
can be read to imply that a particular implementation would not use pointers.
This would, however, be dependent upon the underlying architecture of the
target machine and other implementation specific considerations.
