I think that while you understand very well (and I mostly understand)
what's going on here, the documentation does not communicate this
information from you to me. I don't recognise many 'standard' idioms in
it.
The documentation also never tells me what the module is actually meant to
do!
You might be able to solve the blessed reference thing by using AUTOLOAD
in the tied class or some dummy class which passes on the call but does
not assign *$AUTOLOAD? Perhaps issue a warning since this would be slow.
This also wouldn't fix ref() (this is why we use OOP, of course!
$ob->ref()?)
Forgive me. Empty subclass test?
