Kinda. You couldn't store something that was tied to anything but DBM::Deep.

As for why this feature got "lost", it had to do with the fact that the feature was broken as implemented pre-1.0. When proper references get added, this'll be there.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
