At present
struct X { py: &Y; };
struct Y { a : int; };
px = new X (new Y);
println$ px . py . a;
Well why not:
println$ px . a;
? When Felix sees a pointer to struct T followed by . and a name a,
it looks up a in the struct T, and emits
(*px) . a;
i.e. it automatically derefs the pointer .. since pointers don't
have members there's no confusion unless you meant reverse
application of course, which might work too, i.e. try
a px
and if that fails and ps is a pointer, try
a (*px)
The suggestion above is an extension: if 'a' isn't found in X,
look in every component for it, and if you find it in exactly
one, use that one.
Auto dereference should already be recursive:
ppx := &px;
ppx . py
should already work.
