Fixes #1123
This PR allows pointer arithmetic expressions with unchecked pointer type to be invertible. This means that unchecked pointers with bounds-safe interfaces in unchecked scopes can have inverses.
For example:
In the body of
f
,p
has the unchecked pointer typeint *
since it is in an unchecked scope. Before this PR,p
would have no inverse in the expressionp + 1
. After this PR,p
has the inversep - 1
