The spec at least has a type for a proper alias

Hm. Wouldn't REFP be more appropriate? (In that the described problem is a dereferencable, reference rather than an alias.)

That said, Storable & Clone (and even Dump) handle references to arrays and hashes, including ensuring that multiple embedded references to the same array or hash retain that property once thawed. It is a bit strange that they don't handle scalar references correctly.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
