You may want to read Paul Duffin's (IIRC) whitepaper on the proposed Feather system. There are a few problems to using an OO system with that kind of reference -based system. This is AFAIK mainly related to various callback scripts where an actual reference to the original object is not being stored but rather just the string. This happens at least with commands like "after". It's not an impossible situation, but is something to keep in mind.
I'm not quite sure where to find the paper, but I believe USENIX's website might be a good bet.
