But it's wrong, and leads to errors that the language can't detect. Such
as when a points to a single element not a block:
This is an implementation issue, not a language issue.
A sufficiently pedantic implementation could and would
detect this kind of error at run time. Most implementations
of C are not that pedantic, but you can't blame the
language for that.
