I agree.

Simply put, it would sense to provide

    #define CharPointer char*

and then declare

    char c = 'a';
    CharCointer p = &c;

To me this became clear when I did some C# interop, where IntPtr is a common class, such as:

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    static extern IntPtr CallWindowProc(WndProcDelegate lpPrevWndFunc, IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

It's just an object oriented pointer interface. It looks different. I agree:
