Please answer Jeremy’s question. Right now what I’m seeing:

p->fn(); says that I want to invoke fn() on the object where p is
pointing. But if p is nullptr, then it is not pointing at a valid object,
so that statement does not make semantical sense. That one can concoct
some mechanism that it will do something is rather beside the point.
Additionally, what happens if fn() is a pure virtual function? Yay, more
UB, just harder to find?
