Add ->* pointer-to-member operator to BNF grammar

[Copilot]

Adds the ->* (pointer-to-member dereference) operator to the Dsp grammar, grouped with the .* operator per C++ operator precedence.

Changes

• Grammar: Modified Dsp.g4 line 20 to group .* and ->* operators: term ('.*' | '->*') term # binary

Example

from apyds_bnf import parse, unparse

# Parses pointer-to-member operator
parse("(ptr ->* member) => result")
# Output: "(binary ->* ptr member)\n----\nresult\n"

# Round-trips correctly
unparse("(binary ->* a b)\n----\nc\n")
# Output: "(a ->* b) => c"

Both .* and ->* operators integrate with existing binary operator handling and maintain correct precedence in complex expressions.

@copilot 搞错了， 应该和 .* 在同一行。

不要添加测试或者文档， 只需要修改语法定义文件 @copilot

Fixed in commit 7488f90. Removed all test additions - only the grammar definition file (Dsp.g4) is modified now.

Fixed in commit 7488f90. The ->* and .* operators are now on the same line as term ('.*' | '->*') term.

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Pull request overview

This PR adds support for the ->* pointer-to-member operator to the BNF grammar file, addressing issue #127. The change combines the .* and ->* operators on the same grammar line, allowing the parser to recognize both pointer-to-member access operators.

• Added ->* operator to the grammar alongside the existing .* operator
• Maintained correct operator precedence (between unary and multiplicative operators)
• Reverted test file additions per PR description
