} They're defined by the standard as being entirely equivalent in this

I don't think &array was legal K&R. I just tried compiling it with
the SunOS bundled cc, and it whined:
"std.c", line 5: warning: & before array or function: ignored
There are also some differences between &array and array:
sizeof(*(&array)) == sizeof(array)
sizeof(*array) == sizeof(array[0])
array[1] != (&array)[1]
