Not sure if this has already been discussed, but I though this would be
a cool option, especially since I've ran into a few cases where this
would have been very usefull.

Using a scalar (string) with an address to another variable and be able
to dereference it.  This proves very usefull when pasing dynamic strings
with addresses embeded in them.  I don't believe this is available in
current perl versions without writing XS.
Or should this just be left for a module to handle.  I thought this
would be general enough to include in the CORE.
