-// Passing integer pointers around is generally not something you're going
-// to do. Integers are cheap to copy.
-//
-// But you know what IS useful? Pointers to structs:
-//
-// const Vertex = struct{ x: u32, y: u32, z: u32 };
-//
-// var v1 = Vertex{ .x=3, .y=2, .z=5 };
-//
-// var pv: *Vertex = &v1; // <-- a pointer to our struct
-//
-// Note that you don't need to dereference the "pv" pointer to access
-// the struct's fields:
-//
-// YES: pv.x
-// NO: pv.*.x
-//
-// We can write functions that take pointer arguments:
-//
-// fn foo(v: *Vertex) void {
-// v.x += 2;
-// v.y += 3;
-// v.z += 7;
-// }
-//
-// And pass references to them:
-//
-// foo(&v1);
-//
-//
-// Let's revisit our RPG example and make a printCharacter() function
-// that takes a Character pointer.
-//
