How about:

	typedef char typename;
	int f (int      (typename []));

Is "f" compatible with
	int f (int func (char arr[]));
or
	int f (int       arr[]);
?

3.5.4.3 has a rule on "a single typedef name in parenthesis."  With
some imagination "typename[]" might be regarded as "a single typedef
name" (but how about "int g (int (* typename));" then -- would "* typename"
also be a single typedef name?)

I tried two compilers that claim to be standard-conforming and they
disagreed on this...
