I see. But how would one manage these handles? What's to keep me from accidentally copying a handle? It sounds like it'd require explicit memory management, in order to avoid ever copying a handle, if I were to implment this myself.

Because you seem to write imperative code anyways: can't you simply use a specialized state monad with the array(s) hidden inside the monad as monad state? -Matthias -- Matthias Neubauer | Universität Freiburg, Institut für Informatik | tel +49 761 203 8060 Georges-Köhler-Allee 79, 79110 Freiburg i.
