Let me ask, which areas give people the most trouble, or where do
they find that they need help remembering? My reason for asking is
I myself find most of C's expression syntax behaves the way I expect
without having to think about it, so I need relatively few memory
aids to feel confident in knowing the whole stack. But what are the
stumbling blocks for other folks?
