We have unsafe pointers, and we have zero-variant enums. This seems a good alternative for opaque pointers: ``` enum foreign_object {} fn do_foreign_things(o: *foreign_object) { ... } ``` For non-opaque things, just using `*u8` or `*record_type` is also clearer than using a native type. Please weigh in if you think they have some merits and should be kept.
