that issue is ridiculous, what did you expect randomly increasing the pointer of an array?

At the same time, having the access to .ptr be explicit is way better than in C, where the variable you are adding 1 to may or may not be a pointer.

Having the pointer nature of the operation locally explicit is way better than having to scroll back to find the type of the variable.
