+/* It appears address constants may contain casts to variably modified
+ types. Whether they should be permitted was discussed in
+ <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.std.c/msg/923eee5ab690fd98>
+ <LV7g2Vy3ARF$Ew9Q@romana.davros.org>; since static pointers to VLAs
+ are definitely permitted within functions and may be initialized
+ and such initialization involves implicit conversion to a variably
+ modified type, allowing explicit casts seems appropriate. Thus,
+ GCC allows them as long as the "evaluated" size expressions do not
+ contain the various operators not permitted to be evaluated in a
+ constant expression, and as long as the result is genuinely
+ constant (meaning that pointer arithmetic using the size of the VLA
+ is generally not permitted). */
