I wouldn't say it's not idiomatic in Rust, it's simply a missing feature for raw pointers along with pointer arithmetic operators. There were previously operator overloads, but I had to remove them when switching to inbounds pointer arithmetic since it no longer satisfies the safety requirement of the traits. It can and should be added back to the compiler, just without trait implementations.
