> But "const char *" isn't a qualified version of "char *"
Ahhh. Now I see your point. Amazingly enough, the C standard does not, under any
circumstances, permit objects (including th

And furthermore, if it is so "useful" to be able to hide this behavior, why have
this option at all? Why force programmers to undertake the two-step bomb-arming
instead of just letting them do it in one step

It is precisely because it is "useful" to programmers in the manner described
that a check is needed on it so that persons charged with the task of code
validation or modification do not have to read 250,00

I'm not sure I understand why it is thought that the C standard forbids the
conversion I'm talking about here. In fact, the final committee draft of the ISO
C standard that I have appears to be silent about th

Exactly where does it state that you can only promote one _level_ of qualifier,
as opposed to promoting a single qualifier scope more than once?
Not only that, but even if you declare the string array this way,
char a

Actually, the documentation clearly claims:
"Warn WHENEVER a pointer is cast so as to remove a type qualifier from the
target type."
It does not say:
