As for arbitrary pointer arithmetic being allowed, I guess

Wouldn't it make sense to do so?
Active Oberon, Modula-3 and .NET make such difference in their
pointer types.
I would imagine it could help in terms of what is possible for
GC improvements.
Definitely, but I don't see how it could reasonably be added to
the language now.
