It is, an array and a pointer are different types. There could be ways to convert it to a pointer, but it shouldn’t happen at so many places, implicitly.

  Correct. A method to extract a pointer from an array already exists: int *p = &arr[0]; The mistake is to allow this: int *p = arr;

    And yet, coding styles do not prohibit it and there is no compiler that has a warning.
