Which has pros and cons: a pointer indirection can be expensive so the potential additional cost is hidden and pointers semantic is so different than hiding their usage is a bit risky.. That said this simplify refactoring and is much less 'noisy' to read. My preference is Pascal style but with an @ instead of a ^ which feels a bit weird.
