I'm firmly on the fence about this. On the one hand, there's the option for better C interopability, but on the other hand there's potential overcomplication of code (not a problem for newcomers as I think the majority of things would be optional).
So, really, this doesn't matter that much to me. If I need to write code that works with C, I'll work with pointers -- or I could just write my own Type that creates a memory block that imitates C structures (and arrays).
