It recently occurred to me that there is no syntax to take the
address of an array, although an expression of that type can be
derived from an array of arrays, and a variable of that type
can be declared.  The obvious syntax, &a, is incorrect because
you can only & an lvalue.

[Neophytes, please don't tell the world the name of an array denotes
its address.  It denotes the address of the first element, which
does not mean the same thing if you add an integer to it.]
