Immutables with reference-fields: Why boxed?

One of the most painful things in julia is that there is no zero-cost abstraction for bundling gc-visible references with anything. This manifests in allocating views, allocating Tuple{Vector{Int}, Int}, etc. More than just making some code slow, this severely constrains APIs and design of data layouts. A priori there is no reason at all that immutable types cannot be always inline (self-referential / circular immutables make no sense and don’t even work in C); TBH, I see no point in immutabili…
