Summary: Yet another new operator...

Here's an operator I would like to see.  It involves structure pointers...

	struct a
	{
		struct a *a_ptr;
		...
	} *ptr_to_a;

	...
	ptr_to_a => a_ptr;


This would be equivalent to:

	ptr_to_a = ptr_to_a->a_ptr;


This would not allow you to do anything you can't do anyway, but it
would reduce the needed keystrokes (and isn't that what 'C' is all
about anyway? :-).
