 The following code worked in 0.4
 {{{
 framework 'Foundation'
 framework 'AudioToolbox'

 load_bridge_support_file '../BridgeSupport/MusicPlayer.bridgesupport'

 class MusicPlayer
   def initialize
     musicPlayer = Pointer.new_with_type '^{OpaqueMusicPlayer}'      # This
 should create a double pointer
     puts musicPlayer.type                                           # But
 it doesn't
     (result = NewMusicPlayer musicPlayer) == 0 or raise result.to_s
     @musicPlayer = musicPlayer[0]                                   #
 Causing problems here
   end
 end

 musicPlayer = MusicPlayer.new
 }}}

 But it now generates the following error

 {{{
 $ macruby x.rb
 ^{OpaqueMusicPlayer}
 x.rb:8:in `initialize': unrecognized runtime type `{OpaqueMusicPlayer}'
 (TypeError)
         from core:in `__new__:'
         from x.rb:1:in `<main>'
 }}}

 The error is occuring during the attempt to dereference the double pointer
 at line 10 (despite the error message reporting line 8)
