So does it meen, that a pointer of type Bar* does not point

Yeah, unfortunately.
Can anybody think of a reason to keep the current (broken)

Why would it be broken? Bar intrinsically is a reference type,
so Bar* is a pointer to a reference.

The languages conflates reference and instance type for classes.
See here http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/a55ad2b6 . I wouldn't say this
should change but it is a minor inconsistency I just stumbled on.
