I'm surprised i found this in the presentation on D that's available on this

 Ever tried to declare in C
 a pointer to a pointer to an array of pointers to ints?
 int *(**p[]);


Shouldn't it be
int *(**p)[];
???

Whether this is known or not, i think an errata should be made available...

It's known. It was pointed out while I gave the talk at SDWest, and was
cause for much merriment.

And even this looks wrong:

     int *(*fp)();        // C
     int* function()* fp; // D

Should it be

     int* function() fp; // D

???
