In C, b[a] is syntactic sugar for *(b + a), you can swap the pointer and the subscript and gcc will compile it without even throwing a warning (-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic); you can use an integer literal as long as either value is an array or a pointer.

HolyC explicitly forbids this for some reason.
