The following code is not valid Pony code

let x_dpy = @XOpenDisplay(Pointer[U8])

@ponylang/committer I think the examples in this section are kind of a mess. They aren't valid code and leave alot for someone to guess how they are correct. I don't think that this change is helpful but I think it does highlight for me that the exmaples in this section are problematic.

I'd prefer to kick out an issue to fix the "this is basically Pony pseudo code" issues in this section.

If other committers feel this change is an improvement, we can both merge this and kick out an issue.
