Automatically dereference pointers in operator expressions

[kodek16]

Similarly to how pointers are currently automatically dereferenced in field and method expressions, it should be also possible to perform auto-deref in operator calls.

The way this would work is: if an expression of pointer type is used as an operand in some set of binary operator expressions (e.g., a + b, where a: int and b: &int), then it is automatically wrapped in a deref expression (so the example would be the same as a + *b).

For this to work consistently, pointers must themselves not support any of the operators that support auto-deref.
