Have Type, need Float Ptr

or I could:

Type color4f
	Field r#,g#,b#,a#

	Method TypePtr:Float Ptr()
		Return Varptr r
	End Method	
End Type

glLightfv GL_LIGHT0, GL_AMBIENT, ambient.TypePtr()

That way I'll only have to edit the TypePtr definition if the type changes.

I still think VarPtr(t.mytype) should do it for me, or there could be a TypePtr() function in BlitzMax.
In these simple float examples you can use an array, but when you want to match a more complex C struct, it gets more tricky.
