add initial reference invalidation
+ Makes vec example actually memory safe, which is cool
+ Specify owner > sub relationships with ">" in closure parameter
lists, uses the same group idea as closure calls
+ Relies on users implementing functions in a consistent manner,
since you can kind of do whatever with pointers. Presumably
there would be a stdlib of vec/map/set etc. which applications
could then use and by proxy be memory safe. Although some more
checks wouldn't hurt, I suppose?
+ Not sure I like having reference invalidation be 'just a move',
seems to work alright but the semantics of it are a bit muddy.
