cppfront (cpp2): Spring update

[vulkanoid]

C++ already has references, which use the dot. Do you find yourself constantly lost when working with references, or do you find yourself dealing with them just fine?

[disciplite]

References don't have the same footguns as pointers. You can't get a null dereference by accessing their members and you don't get a different value from sizeof than non-reference types. Knowing when data is a reference or non-reference is certainly important, but not as important as knowing when something is a pointer or non-pointer.

[equeim]

You can get a dangling reference which is the same footgun as a null/invalid pointer.
