Idea 01 - Arrow

struct Banana:
    color: int
    origin: int

def display(b: Ptr[Banana]) -> None:
    return

def main() -> int:
    b: Banana = ...
    b->display()
    return 0

Idea 02 - Dot ✅

@onstack
class Banana:
    color: int
    origin: int

def display(b: Ptr[Banana]) -> None:
    return

def main() -> int:
    b: Banana = ...
    b.display()
    return 0

If @onstack or struct then we need to use Ptr[DataType] otherwise DataType can be used. Going with . as it is already valid AST. Additionally, we can find the method during type checking and desugar it.

display(getref(b))
