i have been reading Harbison & Steele's "C: A Reference Manual", and
have a question about the new pointer declarators allowed by dpANSI-C.
the syntax is:
	pointer_declarator: '*' type_specifier_list(opt) declarator
(11.3.4, page 256). my question is this: are any type_specifier_lists
other than combinations of "const" and "volatile" to be allowed? in
other words, is the declaration
	extern * int ptr_to_int;
legal?
