More succinctly than I said it before,

    Whatever happened to "An array is an array is an array?"

Seeing an array incremented was a rude shock.  I know (now)
that it *SHOULD* be legal, but I've seen so many beginning
C programmers confused by pointers and arrays that the
example in the text I saw still offends me.

I'll continue to use '&array[0]' to get pointers to arrays ...
