A missing or a surplus dereference operation can make a huge
difference, and sometimes, both variants are legal Ada code. So it's
probably better to have a clear mark for this, and "^" is perhaps too
easily overlooked. Personally, I prefer U+2191 (UPWARDS ARROW) to
".all", but the former would involve a quite radical change. ;)
