I can follow the argument that using the native type "void *" is
better, since every C programmer must know that already. But you
cannot argue for this patch on that ground unless Pointer goes away
entirely. I don't understand leaving it in place for GIN. It's
not like GIN indexes are some hoary backwater that nobody pays
attention to.
