A thought on pointers

[Tesuji]

For pointers, using * and & for dereferencing seems ugly, a more interesting
syntax could be:

A* aPtr;
A instanceA;

to point aPtr to instanceA, instead of

<code> aPtr = &instanceA; </code>

write

<code> aPtr -> instanceA; </code>

and it reads "aPtr points to instanceA". This frees the pointer syntax up from
the * & operators, 
Using this syntax, one can eliminate the need for the dereferencing operator
(*), and use pointers directly with operators etc, i.e.

int i1, i2, i3;
int* p1, p2, p3;

p1 -> i1;
p2 -> i2;
p3 -> i3;

p3 = p1 + p2;

And this has the same effect as i1 = i2 + i3;
This would largely simplify the coding for containers, and allow a custom
container to do things like

myVector[3]++;

provided that the opIndex operator for MyVector returns a pointer. Also makes
the pointer behave much like C++ reference types.
