The ship has flown the nest; Deref is not exclusively for smart pointers anymore.

Fixes #249, the direct contradiction of C-DEREF with idiomatic std APIs.

This is weaker than some of the other proposals I've made for how we could reword C-DEREF and/or C-SMART-PTR in #249, but I think this is a small, reasonable, incremental improvement/clarification that should be fairly unobjectionable.
