I'm happy with that. It's an explicit design decision of C that there is a bound on the number of pointers. If I want to consider a Turing-complete variant, all I need to do is let pointers be of arbitrary size somehow, or let it have an "integer" type which really does hold any size of integer.

If we're doing that why not just imagine a PowerPoint presentation that's not bounded?

  Sure. PPTXTM+unbounded is to PPTXTM as C-with-integers is to C, and as Python is to Python-whose-specification-limits-it-to-boundedly-many-objects.
