if you look at the implementation of Pd, then they (of course) are
real pointers, but that is abstracted away (and not accessible) when
working on a patch level.
Okay, but the abstract doesn't make it safe enough to prevent PureData
from crashing on erroneous datastructures.
If you try to access an invalid pointer, you should only get an error
message (e.g. "stale pointer"). They are actually safe, assuming the
underlaying implementation is correct. If you experience crashes with
data structures, please open a bug report.

By the way, thank you for the accurate explanation.
