Yes, but then we also have `object.thing`. The `object` could be
a pointer or a simple value. My senior told me that being
explicit is ALWAYS good, escpecially with the billion dollar
mistake that are pointers, so I propose we change the pointer
case to: `object->thing`.
Much explicit. Very readable. A true C language successor.
