Expand the abbreviated pointer types to full words on the language surface: ptr -> pointer (a raw address / FFI handle) ptrs -> pointers (a buffer of pointers) The Ludic type name is distinct from LLVM's own `ptr` spelling: llty() maps `pointer`/`pointers` to LLVM `ptr`, and the emitted IR keeps `ptr`, so only the Ludic-level surface changes. Rewrites type annotations across all sources, the 8 hardcoded pointer type-tags, the `pointers`-buffer indexing in emit_addr, the grammars/LSP/JetBrains tokens, and the docs (type-ptr -> type-pointer, type-ptrs -> type-pointers). int/bool keep their conventional short spelling (like Math). Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

| fn-file_stdout | file_stdout | builtins | builtin | file_stdout | file_stdout() -> pointer | The standard-output stream handle for use with file_write. | 50 |
Returns the handle for the standard-output stream, which you pass to file_write to emit raw bytes. Unlike print, which always appends a newline and handles conversion, writing through this handle gives you exact control over what bytes go out and when — useful for tooling and code generators that must emit precise text. It takes no arguments and always refers to the process's standard output. Pair it with file_stderr when you want to separate normal output from diagnostics.
program WriteLine {
handler Emit phase Start {
let out = file_stdout()
let message = "built\n"
file_write(out, message, len(message))
}
