Also, there doesn't seem to be much point in restricting the passing of 
a dead/out of bound pointer to a native function when the user can 
simply workaround by calling addr() on that pointer and pass the 
resulting long.

I'm not saying that we should make the API bullet proof (with native 
code I think that would be hard to achieve), but we should at least try 
to make it hard for people to use the API in ways it is not intended to.
