Don't take that as a defence of changing pointer syntax by the

Besides, I think '[4]foo* foos;' is quite clear.
"array of foo pointers" seems very natural to me.
Ugh. No thanks :-) My brain would short circuit every time I
see it.
I take it you're not open to considering [4]*foo either?
I feel like there are quite strong argument for it, regarding
readability & (definition vs operator) consistency.😅
