 - DONE: what about static initialization of an array of struct pointers? -> impossible right now because the pointer values are not constants.
 - DONE: make typeForAddressOf() be even more specific about the typed pointers it returns for the address-of operator.
 - add unit tests for expected AST elements for all syntaxes dealing with pointers, dereference(chain), derefs, and indexing (both as value and assigntargets)
-- clean up pointerdereference in the grammar, regarding dealing with final ^^ or not (is there still any left?)
-- fix TODO("address-of pointer dereference")
 - fix TODO("replace ptr^^ by @(ptr)")
 - add unit tests for all changes (pointers and structs)
 - try to fix parse error  l1^^.s[0] = 4242   (equivalent to l1.s[0]=4242 , which does parse correctly)
 - 6502 codegen: remove checks in checkForPointerTypesOn6502()
 - 6502 codegen should warn about writing to initialized struct instances when using romable code, like with arrays "can only be used as read-only in ROMable code"
 - 6502 asm symbol name prefixing should work for dereferences too.
-- 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"
+- really 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"
 - (later, nasty parser problem:) support chaining pointer dereference on function calls that return a pointer.  (type checking now fails on stuff like func().field and func().next.field)
 - update syntax highlighting files
