	Not exactly; more like:

	int this[100], *that = this;

	int this[100], *that = &this[0];

As with a function, the name by itself implies the address of the first
element of the array.  To specify a different element as the location for
your pointer, you must use the second form, and specify the array bounds
as you require.
