Wow, this is really mind-opening. Everything makes sense now. Thank you.

It's also funny, that they stuck to the * pointer notation which led to the problem, where they could not tell apart a pointer from a multiplication, so they put it to the left of the variable name. It's the small things...

But I guess * is just too convenient and ingrained.
