An operator that provided the address of an integer would help in interfacing with functions (both internal and external) that require a pointer to an integer as an argument. The "get-word" syntax would be ideal

```rebol

p: declare pointer [integer!]
i: 0

p: :i

```

Some REBOL coders may find this syntax confusing at first as :i would return the integer value in REBOL

An alternative could be to use a C-like syntax

```rebol

p: &i

```
