How do safe Reference and List work together?
From my understanding Reference is just a pointer in memory with associated lifetime. But I don't understand how the following code doesn't crash 
    var list: List[Int] = List(10,11,12)
    var element = Reference(list[0])
    list.resize(0)
    for i in range(10000):
         list.append(i)
    print(element[])
    var list: List[Int] = List(10,11,12)
    var element = Reference(list[0])
    list.resize(0)
    for i in range(10000):
         list.append(i)
    print(element[])
Certainly reallocation should have happened here and therefore element should point to invalid memory location, which should cause segfault. But it prints 0. What am I missing?
