To recap, the discussion concerns function parameters declared
using an array-style declarator.

I'm perfectly willing to agree that you think of such parameters
as being effectively call-by-reference arrays.

My objection is to your insistence that other people must agree
with that view.  You can think of it any way you like, but that
doesn't make it true, nor does it imply that other people have to
hold the same point of view.  So all you have to do is stop
insisting that your point of view is the only reasonable one.
