1., no standard way to determine the length of an array compile time.
sizeof() returns the length in bytes, not the number of elements.
Basically you have to do sizeof(array)/sizeof(elementtype), where the
elementtype has to be the same as when you declare an array.
It's even worse than that - see my other mail. Even the size in bytes is
lost, as soon as you try to pass that array as a parameter to function,
since it gets implicitly converted to a pointer, and the size is lost,
because... who cares about array sizes, this is C! :)
