Thanks for the various responses to this.  It looks like there is a mix
of approaches including a package that allows messing with raw pointers
like in C.  It seems practical enough, though I guess it presents
similar difficulties to static analysis.  Doing much better probably
requires cumbersome high-tech approaches.
