(j3.2006) Is the target of a pointer component a subobject?

[Malcolm Cohen]

The "terms and definitions" define what the term means.  That is not the end 
of the story - how you can tell whether something is a subobject or not is 
not described here but elsewhere.  The are more words about subobjects in 
clause 2, and that further refers the reader to clause 6.  Clause 6 contains 
rules for how to decide whether a data-ref describes a subobject of 
something else.

Currently the word "subobject" is really not well-indexed (in fact hardly at 
all), so the index does not help.  That could be improved.

Cheers,

Subclause 1.3.141 of 14-007 says that a subobject is a

        portion of data object that can be referenced, and if it is a
        variable defined, independently of any other portion

Is the target of a pointer component of an object of derived type a
"portion" of that data object, and therefore a subobject thereof?
