Awesome. I only found out that `auto intptr = new int(4)` didn't
work as expected about 30min ago!

recently
merged (pull by Kenji), implementing this enhancement:

Example code:
-----
int n = int(1);
int *p = new int(1);
assert(*p == 1);

I'm just curious what people think about the new feature.

I've pushed for this for ages. Pointers to built-in types are
seriously
hampered without it, and it helps generic code considerably to
have it. It was
one of those things that I was shocked to find out didn't work
from the get-
go.
