What I mean is if we are going to follow C99 in the use of void*, we should allow arithmetic on them. If not, there is not point to use void* as char*, just use char* as the generic pointer. When I ask something here about the Plan9 compilers, I'm not asking about some committee's standard, I have access to them, like everyone else.
By the way I'm curious, someone knows a modern machine with CHAR_BIT>8? I would prefer to use fixed-width types and let the compiler deal with these (nowadays) eccentricities.
