this stinks in the same way as DIP25 stinks. right here: "Attention must 
be paid to annotate all functions returning references to owned data with 
return." this single thing will bring enormous pile of bugs. i want to 
have $1 each time someone will be hit by the bug "oh, i forgot to put 
`return` there!", so i can drop my work and do nothing 'till the end of 
my life.
