The reason you can't have a pointer to a Blitzmax type is because Blitzmax types are already "by reference."

So, if you want p to be a pointer to t, you can do the following
global t:test = new test
global p:test = t  '<---p now points to the same object as t


Any changes made to p are of course reflected in t, and the opposite is true as well.
