golang library to convert a literal to pointer.

This library is very trivial.

If there are any other ways to get a pointer of the literal value, please tell us.

## Motivation

Sometimes we want to get a pointer of the literal value.

But the following code raises a compile error.

https://play.golang.org/p/p9E9omKHogv

```golang

package main

import (

	"fmt"

)

func main() {

	fmt.Println(&"hello")

}

```

```

prog.go:8:14: cannot take the address of "hello"

```

So we have to assign the literal to a variable.

```golang

a := "hello"

fmt.Println(&a)

```

But we want to write this at an one liner.

```golang

fmt.Println(ptr.PStr("hello"))

```
