I'm afraid I have to disagree with this approach.
In my opinion, it's more likely that you might change:
uint8_t buffer[5];
to:
uint8_t *buffer = (uint8_t *)malloc (size);
(Or something like it.)
In which case using & later is then going to cause it to break.
Arrays are more like pointers than any other type so I prefer to treat
them that way. I think the fact that &array == array is a source of
confusion and I wish they didn't allow it (the use of &array that is).
