All arrays are implicitly converted to pointers when passed to a function, therefore when we see `elt p[]`, `elt p[X]`, or `elt (*p)[X]` in the prototype we shall convert them to `elt *`. The conversion is applied in the C ABI processor application function as it is a feature of the language not of an individual ABI. This will enable this feature in all C ABI implementations (processors) as they will not see arrays anymore.
