_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This is an extension of 'TypeDescription-class' for representing
     pointers or references to basic data types. This provides a slot
     for representing the number of indirect levels to the actual data
     type, or in other words, the depth of the pointer.

     Created in C code.

_S_l_o_t_s:


     '_d_e_p_t_h': Object of class '"integer"' the number of indirect levels
          to the data structure. For example, a pointer to a data type
          (e.g. 'type *' in C) has depth 1. 

     '_n_a_m_e': the name of the base type to which this is a pointer.

_E_x_t_e_n_d_s:

     Class '"TypeDescription"', directly.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:

     No methods defined with class "PointerTypeDescription" in the
     signature.
