Dot call syntax in C++
======================

so c2nim translates 'this' sometimes to 'T' and sometimes to 'var T'
both of which are wrong, but often more convenient to use.
For manual wrappers it can also be 'ptr T'

Fortunately we know which parameter is the 'this' parameter and so can fix this
mess in the codegen.
now ... if the *argument* is a 'ptr' the codegen shall emit -> and otherwise .
but this only depends on the argument and not on how the 'this' was declared
however how the 'this' was declared affects whether we end up with
wrong 'addr' and '[]' ops...

Since I'm tired I'll enumerate all the cases here:

var
  x: ptr T
  y: T

proc t(x: T)
x[].t()  --> (*x).t()  is correct.
y.t()    --> y.t()  is correct

proc u(x: ptr T)
x.u()          --> needs to become  x->u()
(addr y).u()   --> needs to become  y.u()

proc v(x: var T)
--> first skip the implicit 'nkAddr' node
x[].v()        --> (*x).v()  is correct, but might have been eliminated due
                   to the nkAddr node! So for this case we need to generate '->'
y.v()          --> y.v() is correct
