// Test that * ptrs do not autoderef. There is a deeper reason for
// prohibiting this, beyond making unsafe things annoying (which doesn't
// actually seem desirable to me). The deeper reason is that if you
// have a type like:
//
// enum foo = *foo;
//
// you end up with an infinite auto-deref chain, which is
// currently impossible (in all other cases, infinite auto-derefs
// are prohibited by various checks, such as that the enum is
// instantiable and so forth).
