Actually, slight correction. Pointers are fine too. I'd expect to have to 
overload opEquals to get deep comparisons for those (and I expect that the 
same happens with arrays), but basically anything which isn't an integral 
value of some kind (which pointers essentially are) won't compare properly if 
the default opEquals for structs is doing the same as the is operator like it 
is right now.
