For the sake of completeness, and without knowing what
you are actually doing, so I could be quite wrong, you
can still pass Pointer.all around (or rename this and
pass it around as before).
Large arrays are typically passed around by reference.
Dereferencing keeps the impact of using pointers local,
and easy to change again, just in case.
