I found some unclear parts of the proposal:

- Under "examples for each rule", in fun2(), the comment says "OK, b is
  a regular int*". However, at this point b isn't declared yet, and the
  next line which declares b, declares it as int, not int*. So what is
  the comment supposed to say?

- Under "A few more examples combining the rules", in abc(), 3rd line,
  the comment says "Error, rule 5". But there is no rule 5!
