- Check out section 3.4, page 56, line 32.
-
- It defines an address constant. You can't have a <baz> constant unless
- you have <baz>, now can you? Also check out line 35 in the same section,
- which refers to "the address & and indirection * unary operators".
-
- No, the concept of "address" is in the standard, so it seems somewhat
- tendentious to shun it.
