There was an issue reported here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55684031/eigen-returning-pointer-with-unaryexpr IMO, the use-case is rather borderline, but I don't think that not removing pointers within our result_of implementation would break anything. But I'd be ok with WONTFIX here as well.
There is indeed no reason to remove pointer qualifier.
