+- implement augmented assignment on pointer dereference;  ptr^^ *= 5
-- implement augmented assignment on pointer dereference;  ptr^^ += 10
 - fix actual _msb/_lsb storage of the split-words pointer-arrays
 - pointer types in subroutine signatures (both normal and asm-subs)
 - support chaining pointer dereference on function calls that return a pointer.  (type checking now fails on stuff like func().field and func().next.field)
+- make typeForAddressOf() be even more specific about the typed pointers it returns for the address-of operator. + unit test.
 - are the ARRAY_POINTER and ARRAY_STRUCT data type enums realy needed? can't we just use ARRAY?
 - fixing the pointer dereferencing issues (cursed hybrid beween IdentifierReference, PtrDereferece and PtrIndexedDereference) may require getting rid of scoped identifiers altogether and treat '.' as a "scope or pointer following operator"
 - add unit tests for all changes
