I believe that "These rules apply recursively to the types from which the two types are derived." means that the composite of T1[variable] and T2[] is not T1[variable] but (composite(T1,T2))[variable]. I do not think interpreting "is that type" to override the recursivity makes sense, because it would yield self-contradictory results for the composite type of two VLA types which are compatible but not the same. -- Joseph S.
