As the wrapper objects have reference semantics, I append '_ptr' to their name to stress that fact. A practical side-effect of this is

Shouldn't the type names use a suffix of "_ref" instead? (I don't need to know that they're [possibly] implemented as pointers.)
it seems 'pointer' has for you a very precise (C/C++) meaning. I just used _ptr the same way it is used in CORBA (i.e. the C++ mapping), where it doesn't imply anything about the implementation.
I believe _ptr and _ref are fairly equivalent.
