Ok, so if Ademan tells me that he's not going to work on the ootype-virtualref branch, I'll try to finish the work so you can start playing with it.
Note to frank: this is kind of cool but only needed for the JIT, otherwise it's a normal reference.
well, no. Virtualrefs were introduced for the JIT, but they also need to be supported by normal backends. This is why translation is broken at the moment.
It is true that the implementation is straightforward, though (I suppose this is what you meant originally :-))
Sure. I was mostly saying "the complex part of the implementation for ootype can be ommited if we skip the JIT part".
