Description
If you put `pointer: true` on a list-field, you get `[]*T` (or `[][]*T`, or...) which is probably what you wanted (so you can represent an required list of optional items, for example, but not the only option. If anyone finds a reason to want `*[]T`, or for that matter `*[][]*[]T`, we can figure out a syntax for it; it's easy enough to do technically. (Although it won't be totally trivial if `T` is an interface.)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the generator logic that maps list fields and pointer: true to Go types, then define and test syntax for nested pointer/list combinations, including interface element types.
