I think the blessing is a property of the underlying hash (or whatever).
Eg. couple of lines below.

The oopery all seems geared towards sv ref to a hash or whatever.
I expect you could discard the sv after blessing if you really wanted
to keep only the hash.


my %h;
my $r = \%h;
my $t = \%h;
bless $r, 'Foo';
print ref $r,"\n";
print ref $t,"\n";

use Devel::Peek;
print Devel::Peek::Dump(\%h);
print Devel::Peek::Dump($t);
