I don't know how one would use an ampersand on an array definition,
but assuming Ron means that (if "a" is of array type) "a" and "&a"
are equivalent, that was only true for certain broken C implementations.
"&a" used to be illegal.  In ANSI C it has a meaning, but not the same
as "a" (different type, for one thing).
