Or do we have confusion between name and object?

K&R, p. 186

      An array name is a pointer expression.

     p. 210

      Every time an identifier of array type appears in an
      expression, it is converted into a pointer to the first
      member of the array.

So an array is not a pointer but a reference to an array
in an expression is a pointer.
