Since when?

I know that Gould had a bug in their UTX-32 compiler that made it think
sizeof"......"==sizeof(char *), but they fixed that and in any case
it's not the same as your example.  So what gives?

(I don't think the array name is turned into a pointer just because it's
surrounded by parentheses.)
