i have added ranged pointers to XLS (except for the boundary checking features, which i'll add later)
ranged pointers are like pointers but they store an additional value, the range of a pointer. essentially this range value acts as the count of the number of elements in an array that a pointer interfaces to.
even without boundary checking, storing this information is a very useful convenience.
