Please do not put words in my mouth. I wrote "I see very little room for confusion" not "There is very little room for confusion". I tried to make it clear that I was talking about my personal experience; and I was talking about my personal experience since I was hoping it would help, not to defend the syntax of C.

Sometimes a particular point of view allows you to understand something; in some cases it makes the previously mystifying point "trivial" or "obvious". I am sorry that the POV that helped me so much does not help you at all.
