[PD] [Gem]: gem-pointer and [list] OR slow [repeat]

[cyrille henry]

to store gem pointer, you can use the any object.
but if you want to render primitive when gem does not expect it (like sprend in the 50ms as you explain), you can't expect it to render anything.
in the better case, it will not crash.
