I really cannot condone looking at array names like that.
The name of an array is just that, the name of an array.
Whether or not it has anything to do with an "address" depends on the context.
For example, in "sizeof B", the array name B has nothing whatever to do with
an address; it represents the entire CONTENT of the array.
