Ok, again this is for the benefit of our listeners, but (and this is  
more a general C thing than anything specific to C++) pointers and  
arrays are really just two ways to say the same thing in C. In fact,  
I'd go so far as to say that array notation is just syntactic sugar  
for pointers. I would expect that most compilers would generate the  
same code for both.
