Come on, Doug. I can't find it either. Just cite the section number
of the place where it says that a cast from void* to OBJ* to void*
must yield pointers that compare equal. The section number will be what? --
six or seven characters, maybe?  It won't hurt your fingers.

My humble opinion:

1. The sections concerning pointers are poorly written.
It will not surprise me at all if a literal reading of them leaves some
expected behavior unspecified.

2. It doesn't matter.
