call to revolt

[Roy Mongiovi]

Well, while I can think of easy ways to code around it, they involve extra
data movement.  I fail to see why the following should be categorically
outlawed:

	char *intptr;

	intptr = malloc(sizeof(int));

	read(fd, intptr, sizeof(int));

	*((int *) intptr)++;
		.
		.
		.

Admittedly, I can't think of a really great reason why I might want to
do that, but one of the major things that I like about C is that the
programmer is the boss.
