.NextValue, would get a value, and increment it. Basically doing *p++
Also looks nicer, really. "*" is a C thing, kind of ugly compared
really when used in an RB context.
"NextValue" is equally so; indeed, C style looks a little out of
place in REALbasic code.
The Ptr syntax always seemed a little odd to me, I'd really like to
see strongly typed pointers like in C - e.g.:
Pointer p As UInt32
So instead of p.UInt32(4) you'd just write p(1). There's already
syntax precedent for replacing Dim (Static, Const) but I haven't got
a clue how reasonable a feature request this would make.
