Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's common to need to work with the underlying pointer.

Describe the solution you'd like

public static explicit operator nint(PWSTR pwstr)
{
    unsafe
    {
        return (nint)pwstr.Value;
    }
}

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can add an extension method for this, but I can't add extension operators. This means i can't use a natural cast like I can with other pointed to types.
