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.
