Struct fields can be accessed through a struct pointer.
-The indirection through the pointer is transparent.
+To access the field `X` of a structwhen we have the struct pointer `p` we could
+write `(*p).X`.
+However, that notation is cumbersome, so the language permits us instead to
+write just `p.X`, without the explicit dereference.
