So? Why is handing pointers around a _bad_ way to abstract?
Mostly because the language does nothing to help me when I do something wrong. Deferencing an integer as if it were a pointer should generate an error, not corrupt memory. Ultimately, we're going to hand around pointers, but it's much better if things are tagged so we can tell if there are errors and such.
