Yes, I agree with that. But it might be convenient to have a "this
registry" variable in some package body, and it might be inconvenient to
know what sort of registry it is when that variable is elaborated.
In that case, one needs a pointer.
But I do agree that the program probably won't magically migrate from
Windows to Unix at run time, and change its registry accordingly! ;-)
