I see increasing misunderstanding regarding "strong" values.
You are not doing much to clear it up! I simple definition of what you
mean would sort it out.
Look— a pointer is a special string that can be used as an index in
all the arrays we have. This string carries an unlimited amount of
data that makes up the object itself.
So that's not really what most people would understand by the term
"pointer". For one thing, pointers don't carry an unlimited amount of
data.
As has been suggested, an example of how your "pointers" can help write
a program that is awkward to write without them would be very useful.
