   Since C99 we have four types of array parameters:   
      
   []   
   [assignment-expression]   
   [static assignment-expression]   
   [*]   
      
   But what is their meaning? They're all compatible, they all decay to   
   pointers anyway. Only to [static assignment-expression] does the   
   standard give a little bit of extra formal meaning, by making it UB when   
   a too-short array is passed.   
      
   They exist, they are different types, but the standard does not give   
   them meaning (with the exception noted above). So people using them must   
   have a motivation beyond what is explicitly stated in the standard, and   
   thus an idea of what the meaning of these would or should be.
