Would pointer provenance still be such a big deal if one-past-the-end pointers were disallowed? All the interesting examples I’ve seen are based on one-past-the-end pointers.

I assume something analogous could happen with pointers to freed memory that are converted to integers, but that seems easier to resolve.
