: (I will readily admit that C syntax sucks here: indirection should be a
: postfix operator:

Actually, I often use the C postfix indirection operator "[0]",
in places where it makes the intent clearer.  Especially when
interspersed with array and struct accesses.

( Well... maybe "often" is an exageration.  But really and
  truely, I have treated "[0]" as if it were a simple postfix
  operator now and then.  Works just fine.  Sort of. )
