r5661: Be a little stricter on syntax regarding arrays. A pointer to an

array can now only be :

 type *name[];

rather then :

 type *name;

which was supported in the past. Warnings will be given when the first
syntax is used. Reasons for this change in behaviour include improved
readability and the fact that the second format makes dealing with multiple
levels of pointers harder.
(This used to be commit a416de5825c540fd3741731c4be05e9a659a6fdb)
