Comment(by donaldh):
Pointer is used by anyone (e.g. me) that uses NCI and wants to store
opaque pointers. For example, it's used in the DBDI code in
ext/SQLite3/SQLite3.pir
The 'V' NCI signature implicitly only works with PMCs that store a pointer
in PMC_data. The only PMC with the correct GC semantics (i.e. none) is
Pointer.
Cheers,
Donald.
