The obvious smug answer ... if you have to ask, you aren't.

Sorry, couldn't resist.  And I can't think of a really good, serious
answer.  I mean, how do you rate an expert?  I consider myself
pretty good, but sometimes I still check the operator-precedence
charts.  

How about ... understands why a[i] equals i[a] and CAN EXPLAIN IT,
knows what a trigraph is, and can tell why the following code
prints "false" (on 8-bit char systems).

	char x = 0xff;

	if (x != 0xff)
		printf("FALSE\n");
