Pointer Tokens and Pointer Arrays
---------------------------------

WARNING: Like the "cleanup" functionality, pointer tokens and pointer
arrays should be considered highly experimental and subject to change
up until at least 1.X of g-wrap is released.  Don't use this unless
you're willing to have to re-write everything that depends on it later.
It is currently being tested in GnuCash, but isn't claimed to be ready
for prime-time.  Further, in it's final incarnation, we probably need a
more coherent mechanism.  As it stands this is a first draft, and
things are added as needed.

That said, pointer tokens and pointer arrays provide a method for
handling C pointers as arguments and return values.  Pointer tokens
handle pointers to C structures and pointer arrays handle C arrays of
pointers.
