I think the following is a golf of your confusion:
```
use NativeCall;
my Pointer $foo .= new: 42;
say $foo; # NativeCall::Types::Pointer<0x2a>
print $foo; # NativeCall::Types::Pointer<5895604297984>
```
I can see how someone might be confused by the two numbers:
* Decimal `42` which is the same as hex `0x2a`.
* Decimal `5895604297984` (or whatever) which isn't `42`/`0x2a`.
Why isn't the third number the same as the first two?
Am I right in thinking this distills what is confusing to you?
