After getting a beer and thinking about this some, I have
to admit teaching about this is a VERY good way to
introduce the TEMPORARY function. And I don't think you
can really appreciate the most important parts of the
Pointer Tutorial without understanding the role of
NO_COPY. So I guess I'd probably still teach it, but
abandon it fairly quickly after I exhausted its
pedological properties. :-)

Cheers,

David
