            1 # Meme cache pointer support by Bitreich
            2 
            3 The Bitreich memecache joins modern programming languages like C in
            4 supporting pointer notation.  Get a pointer representation of a meme by
            5 referencing it in our IRC channels with the syntax '*<tag>', instead of
            6 the usual '#<tag>'.
            7 
            8         Example:
            9         <adc> #gnu-hut
           10         <annna> #gnu-hut:
           11                 gophers://bitreich.org/I/memecache/gnu-hut.jpg
           12         <adc> *gnu-hut
           13         <annna> *gnu-hut:
           14                 gophers://bitreich.org/9/memecache/filter/*gnu-hut.jpg
           15 
           16 The pointer notation works for image and video memes.  Remember that
           17 you can explore our memes with

           29 ## Deep pointer support in memes.
           30 
           31 Thanks the ground work of adc, we had pointer support for memes. Based on
           32 this, we now have deep pointer support for all kind of memes:

           37                 ****athas-teapot.jpg
           38 
           39 With cache support.
           40 Have fun pointing at memes! We had much fun making this. :D
           41 
           42 ## Reverse pointer support for memes.
           43 
           44 After a public request by an avid pointer lover, we of course implemented
           45 reverse pointer support for memes now:
           46 
           47         gophers://bitreich.org/9/memecache/filter/\
           48                 &&&&&&athas-teapot.jpg
           49 
           50 See how you can dereference this teapot now.
