Don't take that as a defence of changing pointer syntax by the 
way, just noting I think the argument pointers and arrays should 
be defined using a similar syntax is not consistent when thinking 
about indexing & dereferencing.

Besides, I think '[4]foo* foos;' is quite clear.
"array of foo pointers" seems very natural to me.
