Or not, in a sense.  Also, allowing indirect objects may make it slower
to access regular objects, so I don't think this is a good idea...

I guess I could use a transformer:

  (set! $user-full-name "Kei")
  (insert $user-full-name)

changes

  (lisp-set! user-full-name "Kei")
  (insert (lisp-ref user-full-name))

This might be better.
