Oh, yes, pointer. Ha! I didn't even think of that. Thanks.
I'm not familiar with how garbage collection works in D. If
the initial reference goes out of scope, and you just have a
pointer - in another thread, no less - then are you still
guaranteed that the object will not disappear while the
pointer exists?

a pointer to a pointer(or in this case, a reference) does not
keep it alive.
wow, I don't even remember posting this.
This is (mostly) wrong, but I'm unsure if a pointer to another
pointer on the stack would correctly keep its object alive(but, I
believe this would just be a bug I think,) If the pointer was
pointing to a pointer on the heap, then AFAICT it would keep it
alive.
