You even quoted me saying it.

(*pparr) and arr have the same type.  So whatever applies to one, 
applies to the other.

Ah, resorting to insults again, good job.

Well that is how you access an array!  How is it different from
arr[0] = 42?

I'll remind you again, the statement you disputed was:

"Dereferencing pparr accesses an array in the same sense that using the 
name arr accesses an array".

Now given typeid(arr) == typeid(*pparr), how can that be false?
