I consider the C declarator syntax just fine, it is very intuitive and has
served us well for 26 years, so I don't see a need to change it.
Implicit narrowing conversions are a feature.
And what is hard to parse for humans? The "char* p,q" "issue"? That's a
formatting bug then, this ought to be written "char *p, q", which makes it
very clear what is going on.
