I'm sure that it should not. When I create a pointer to something, then
dereference that pointer, the compiler had better not change the value
of the pointer behind my back!
Pointers in C are like a high-powered rifle: very useful in the hands
of a skilled marksman, but not too smart about what they're pointed at.
