			==Remarks==
			This function was originally created to prevent garbage-collection of specific Lua objects/elements which should persist even though no script would reference them. The storage of those references can be obtained by a call to the debug.getregistry function. The '''ref''' and '''deref''' template can easily be remade using a locally-hidden Lua table and two such function implementations.
