Well, I implement only three of those (ie. of my four) in my code 
generator. (X[i] gets reduced to *X before this point.)

If there are any other categories, then they've never been encountered 
in any of the C projects I've tested.

(My language has nearly 10 categories, including one where the dual 
results of a 'divrem' op is assign to two LHS values. Are the extra ones 
in C anything like that, eg. to do with 'complex' assignment?)
