    Description

      Currently, we can write any user object using two types of semantics:

      // Basic
      writer.WriteObject<ObjectType>(obj);
      // Pointer-based
      writer.WriteObject<ObjectType*>(&obj);
      

      However, this does not work for primitive types:

      // Basic. Works just fine
      writer.WriteObject<std::string>(str);
      // Pointer-based. Compilation error.
      writer.WriteObject<std::string*>(&str);
      

      Need to add support of the pointer semantics for the primitive types as well.
