This, unfortunately, is somewhat unsatisfying, as it cannot obviate
all need for .pointee. In particular, it cannot satisfy the case
when the pointee needs to be modified in some fashion. (i.e. inout)

IMO this should be the empty subscript so it works with lvalues, or nothing at all with the rationale that [] only saves one character over [0], and then we should decide that [0] is OK.
