All C declarations are read from inside out, postfixes take precedence,
that's why you have to use braces to give pointer higher precedence. One
of the earlier books by Stroustroup gives a nice monster of arrays,
pointers and functions to master understanding of declarations.

It's essentially the same principle that makes it so that the D declaration

int[4][3] a;

is an array with 3 rows and 4 columns rather than 4 rows and 3 columns like
you'd expect.

I've always been confused by C in this regard. It seems to logical to me
that T[3] works the same whether T is U[4] or U.
