Re: CL pgm and pointer variables

FWIW, I agree with you as far as RPG is concerned.  It's good to have
pointers, and they were overdue.

As far as CL is concerned, however, I agree with Hans.  They don't belong
there.   If you're doing something sophisticated enough to require the
use of pointers, you should be doing it in a language like RPG IV or C,
not in CL.

That's my 2 cents...
