# Objective
- `bevy_ptr::{Ptr, PtrMut, OwnedPtr}` wrap raw pointers and should be printable using pointer formatting.
## Solution
- Add a `core::fmt::Pointer` impl for `Ptr`, `PtrMut` and `OwnedPtr` based on the wrapped `NonNull` pointer.
---
## Changelog
- Added a `core::fmt::Pointer` impl to `Ptr`, `PtrMut` and `OwnedPtr`.

bevy_ptr
The bevy_ptr crate provides low-level abstractions for working with pointers in a more safe way than using rust's raw pointers.
Rust has lifetimed and typed references (&'a T), unlifetimed and typed references (*const T), but no lifetimed but untyped references.
bevy_ptr adds them, called Ptr<'a>, PtrMut<'a> and OwningPtr<'a>.
These types are lifetime-checked so can never lead to problems like use-after-frees and must always point to valid data.
