If you do indeed mean typedef, then I have to say I'm not sure what the intended
behaviour should be. Since pint is a strong typedef, it's certainly the case
that
1 is not one of its type. Conversely, since pint is a pointer type, then we'd
expect to be able to do integer arithmetic.

I think you've found a little gremlin in the typedef type system, and it clearly
warrants some attention. My vote would be for allowing integer arithmetic on
strong pointer typedefs ... I think. :-)
