The same as

Yes, it is for *pointers*.
Note however, that for acutal objects, it doesn't always hold true.
For instance:
struct Monkey
{
int* tail;
};
class Blah
{
public:
Monkey a;
Monkey b;
Monkey& operator*()
{
return a;
}
Monkey& operator->()
{
return b;
}
};
int main()
{
Blah poo;
int k;
*( poo->tai l) = &k;
*( (*poo).tail ) = &k;
}
In that above, the statements do two totally different things, ie. there's
two different "tail"s!
(Actually now as I'm writing this, I'm not 100% sure that you can overload
