[Bug translator/5930] New: need construct for $context variable address


Going one or two steps farther toward full pointer arithmetic,
it would be handy to be able to return addresses of $target->field
expressions rather than their values.  Then those addresses could
be passed to embedded-C code, or printf("%m") for further processing.

Syntax could look like "& $target->foo" as in C, or "$target->foo&"
sort of as in C++ references, or "$target->foo$" to be a wee more
cryptic.
