The test passes, but the expression pointer(xi32, i32) returns a pointer to a copy of the integer xi32, as Python passes a new copy of the integer (as value), so this approach does not allow us to take a pointer to it. I think it's probably fine, we just can't use it for return values. For NumPy arrays arguments it will return a pointer to the actual data.

This gets it done, in a "prototype" mode. As we get more experience actually using this, we'll "harden" it.
