     This is changing, including in the C Standard itself. The new C
Standard is going to ship signatures using the static syntax since it
aids with compile-time QoI errors regarding too-small arrays.
Sanitizers are picking up on pointer-to-VLA (not VLA) definitions now,
and warning on size arrays. We might also be looking into allowing the
void[ static n ] syntax so we can start appropriately decorating
functions like memcpy, memset, and similar.

     It would be nice to not have to macro-define these things away.
