petdance/scratch — Issue #1112: [DEPRECATED] Pointer, UnManagedStruct, ManagedStruct

Pointer, UnManagedStruct, and ManagedStruct are slated for removal.
These have accrued complicated and, in some instances, poorly thought out, convenience functionality. Their replacements, Ptr, PtrBuf, PtrObj, and StructView, do not yet suffer from this, and it is hoped that they will be better guarded against such feature-creep.
