while true, isn't the purpose of the type and class system to prevent
accidents like this?

A copied idref object is not really of much use. You can only use it to
print the idref or to manually get the target through the root object.
Since it's unlikely that someone wishes to copy an idref, it should be
explicit, not implicit in my oppinion.
