 ## Pointer Types ##
 * raw pointer `T*` is used for construction, but not storage
-* strong pointer `ast::ptr<T>` is used for an ownership relationship
-* weak pointer `ast::readonly<T>` is used for an observation relationship
+* `ast::ptr_base<T,R>` is a pointer to AST node `T` with reference type `R`
+  * specialization: strong pointer `ast::ptr<T>` is used for an ownership relationship
+  * specialization: weak pointer `ast::readonly<T>` is used for an observation relationship
+  * added `ast::ptr_base<T,R>::as<S>()` with same semantics as `dynamic_cast<S*>(p)`
