I don't see why you'd lose the safety. Because it's CLR-derived you don't
need a conservative garbage collector. Thus, you can assert (in non-final
builds) that no back pointers exist into that pool when you blow it away.
Given that pool-blowing-awaying generally should only happen during loading
time, that assert shouldn't get in the way much of regular play testing etc.

Sincerely,
