Actually it is not the char pointers which are special but access through a
character, there is a difference.

restrict is actually less strict than what you want :). restrict attributed
pointers are can still alias other pointers, just not other restrict attributed
pointers.

Even then it might be useless as -fno-strict-aliasing is huge hammer.
Also no feedback on an example in 3 months so closing.
