    Yup. And IMO, using that ISO standard, of the &  returning an
lvalue,
    and since another ISO standard defines "array" as returning the 
    base lvalue of the array,  
    &array -should- be the address of the address of the array.
    Not the address of the array... But, again, only IMHO.

    Reminds me of an assembler instruction.   :)

    I linted the innd module, BTW,

   - YEESH -

   :\

    Somebody cutting a check for this ?

    Heh.
