There are a lot of things in 'C' that have "meaningful semantics" but are
not supported. Don't hold your breath for:

	Arithmetic on arrays (arithmetic on the elements?).

	Constant arrays other than char: (int *){1, 2, 3} should be
	valid in any context "hi there" is.

	Value return from any block: A = { .... return b; ... return c; }

Can you say "BCPL"? I knew you could.
