Missing structs caused by struct pointers about nimterop HOT 5 CLOSED

What should this translate to?

Maybe ptr object? Not sure

I've partially fixed this for the case where struct X is different from *Y. For example:

typedef struct X { ... } *Y

where X != Y.

If X == Y, we run into name clashes and that's being discussed at length on the Wiki.

With the new plugin system, nimterop will now complain that _Kernel is an invalid symbol and will ask the user to handle it somehow.

User can either choose to rename _Kernel to Kernel which will then cause nimterop to complain that it's a duplicate. User then can choose to skip it which will result in neither _Kernel nor Kernel getting translated which will probably cause some other failure when Kernel is later referred to in the code.

The only correct way would be for them to rename _Kernel to cKernel or some other unique name that doesn't clash. They can do this with cPlugin:onSymbol().

Closing this since plugin system is now shipping and _Kernel can be handled in multiple ways - skip or rename.
