Consensus is leaning towards moving it out into a library. The only undecided thing at this point appears to be the fate of the @ symbol, e.g. whether it should remain as sugar for user-provided pointer types (which includes types in the stdlib).

So @ would mean "something that implements the pointer trait"?

If memory serves you right, then it shouldn't matter :)

Well done sir!

I'm hoping the "coerce to borrowed" functionality will work with user defined pointers. Maybe via a trait?

That's the plan: make library defined pointer types first class.
