Bravo, Henry Spencer, and thanks for the excellent summary!  I second the
motion of thanks to Larry Rosler for giving the workshop.

Henry made one typo in his summary, which may confuse some people.
Specifically, his example of "const" usages should read:

>		const char *p;		/* pointer to constant */
>!		char *const q;		/* constant pointer to something */
>
>	Illustrating two different uses:  the first is a pointer that
>	can be changed but can't be assigned through; the second is a
>	pointer that can be assigned through but can't be changed.  It
>	is agreed that the syntax is less than ideal.  Note that const
>	is *not* a storage class, it is part of the type.
