Question of the day: does the Prudent Programmer avoid the
[] array notation for function parameters?

				 vv------ array here
	main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{

I recall seeing somewhere that this is not a good thing,
and someday it may go away so vectorization capabilities
can be added to the language.  I happen to like the []
notation, but if there is a good reason not to do it, I'll
stop.
