Huh? Button.Click is perfectly legal in C++... Although it does not mean 
a dereference, but a direct  ;) AFAIK the scandinavian mafia (Bjarne and 
Anders) did not agree, but both had the same in mind. Since Pascal 
already used ^ for pointers (pascal is much older than c++) Anders was 
free to use the simple dot notation to distinguish. Bjarne had to 
circumvent his reliance on C notation, hence the ->.
I don't see the point about your argumentation. "Absolute" is supported, 
even explicit as opposed to implicit and that is a good thing.
