Not necessarily. It could be an overloadable operator that could be used 
on any struct/class.

Ideally I would like pointers and reference types to be non-nullable by 
default. Then have built-in support for optional types. Kind of like Swift.

int* a = null; // error, pointers cannot be null
int*? a = null; // fine, optional pointer to int
int? a = null; // fine, optional int
