Basically I am not against this patch, as 756a43689324b473ee07549a6eb7a53a203df5ad has done similar changes.
What I want to understand is that why do we delete Pointer and add GinExtraPointer?
```
-/*
- * Pointer
- * Variable holding address of any memory resident object.
- * (obsolescent; use void * or char *)
- */
-typedef void *Pointer;
```
And
```
+typedef void *GinExtraPointer;
```
They both are underlying “void *”. Are we expecting to improve code readability? More specific maybe?
