    Seems to be wrong because it legislates away portability. A programmer
    needs to know, when scanning the arguments, that the argument is a
    pointer to a sub-array instead of a char*. The prefix to this array
    pointer needs to be standardized, or standard argument scanners are
    theoretically impossible.
