Or unhandy if you wanted it based on MyPointer and you typed MyPointr by 
mistake.

The most annoying thing about this feature is that it makes it seem as 
though it's possible to have a local variable based on a global pointer. 
 It compiles fine, but the compiler defines a local pointer with the 
same name, leading to mysterious problems which can be very difficult to 
debug.
