While reviewing the CPtr module from a language stabilization perspective, it was noted that we could probably replace c_void_ptr with c_ptr(void) to unify the two flavors of pointers into one. This issue asks whether anyone would object to doing so (assuming no show-stoppers present themselves in attempting it).
We believe that we got into the current state by virtue of initially supporting a type alias representing void* as a distinct concept prior to any support for the generic c_ptr(void). It also seems likely that we hadn't really solidified our void vs. none/nothing features yet at the time we were introducing c_ptr().
Note that this issue interacts slightly with #18010.
