This does _not_ give you the address of the Node object. It
gives you the address of the reference.
IIRC, the only way to get the address of the object itself
would be to cast it to void*, but it's not something that I do
normally, so I'd have to experiment a bit to be sure.

Thanks Jonathan. Good point about the reference address. I can
work around this quite easily, but I was curious. I will try the
void* cast and see what happens.
Cheers.
