This question is also a repost.  It seems to have gotten lost between
kddlabs and the rest of the world, and never got a reply.

Section 3.5.4.3 very carefully prohibits a declaration of the form
  extern int f()[3];  /* function returning array of 3 integers */

Section 3.5.4.2 does not attempt to prohibit a declaration of the form
  extern int f[3]();  /* array of 3 functions, each returning int */
What shall be the meaning of such a declaration?
