At first I wanted to disagree with you... philosophing about the Pascal 
way of doing things, bla, bla...

But after 8 km of deep thinking (as I'm riding those by bike, I have 
much time :) ), I came to the conclusion that you are right. We are 
interfacing with a foreign language here and if we are in Rome, we shall 
do as the Romans do...

so: forget the idea of implicit pointers ^^

Another question though: Do you want me to write tests for the compiler 
for this feature (e. g. those in the tests directory)? If so, how do you 
suggest to write those tests, especially as they (currently) rely on a 
external library...

Sven
