I only now realize that compilers are permitted to actually error
on the construct being compiled (it just so happens that gcc as
an extension allows integral types be assigned to pointer type
variables). Hence at the very least you need to be certain (and
should say so in the description) that no compiler (version) we
support would error on that construct.
