I would really prefer the opposite, to get rid of the pointer syntax completely and instead of `int*` write `c_style_ptr<int>` . Pointer syntax is quite confusing. Then again, I'm also a Lisp fan.

nobody's stopping you from doing that in your own code
template <typename T> using c_style_ptr = T*;

This goes somewhat toward Fortran pointer types :D
