if you want to use the star, check if it is nullable. People will start to use non-nullable pointers everywhere in their interfaces because they don't want to be checking for null all the time. :-D Cunning, eh?
C and C++ could have non_nullable pointers, easily

Forgot to explain: dereferencing a nullable pointer should be a syntax error. Uh, and no static_cast between nullable and non-nullable pointers, either... no cheating :-D
