I want to put it, that this is almost the *only* time what arrays
can be viewed as pointers:

"When the name of an array appear like an R-value, roughly an expression which
is not appearing immediately to the left of an assignment 'equal' sign,
then this name of an array can be treated by the programmer as a pointer
to the first element of an array."  The sizeof operator takes an L-value
or a type, not an R-value.

     So:

char c, text[5];

c = text[3]                     is              c = *(text + 3)

But

char *p, q[5];

p = text                        is              p = &(text[0])

But

q cannot be assigned = text

But

q[2] = text[2]                  is              *(q + 2) = *(text + 2)

But

sizeof p is size of pointer     but             sizeof q is size of array
