[PATCH] Allow subscripting raw pointers

[PATCH] Allow subscripting raw pointers

[Manish Goregaokar]

This will be useful for dealing with vectors; regardless of our final solution
for the Index trait.

Right now subscripting vectors requires dancing between C and Rust mode.

    * rust-lang.c (rust_subscript): Allow subscripting pointers

I suspect maybe your MUA is misconfigured somehow?  Your patches often
come out looking like the indentation is messed up; but in this case the
context makes it clear that the indentation is probably ok.

I am using git format-patch and pasting it into GMail text mode. Probably should set up mutt; haven't yet because I was behind a port-blocked university connection for years :)

I'll see what I can do.

fwiw while people usually block 25 I don't think I've ever seen someone
block 587.

you might want to try git send-email if your  going to make gmail handle
outbound smtp for you already.
