No, it wouldn't have been very easy to change.  It would have broken
existing code, something that the maintainers of the language try
very hard to avoid doing.

Sure, it could have been done -- and if it had been my decision,
and I had thought of it at the time, I might have advocated for such
a change.  But the benefits of banning integer+pointer, and therefore
integer[pointer] and integer[array], just aren't that significant.
It would make *some* currently valid code invalid (and I'll bet you
that some compilers would continue to support it as an extension).
Fixing such code would not be particularly difficult -- if you
ignore the sometimes substantial overhead of making *any* change
to existing code.

The costs would probably be smaller than those imposed by removing
implicit int in C99 -- but the benefits would also be smaller.
Removing implicit int allowed for detection of real errors in
existing code.  I don't think reversing an array and an index is
something that's often done accidentally.

Finally, some people have argued that being able to write
index[array] is actually useful.  I'm not convinced myself, but
it's something to consider.

There is no programming language in which it's the least
bit difficult to write bad code.  Banning integer+pointer,
integer[pointer], and integer[array] would remove one rarely used
way to write arguably bad code.  It's just not worth the effort.
It would make sense to do it as part of a general overhaul of the
language, but the result of such an overhaul should almost certainly
be considered a new language and called something other than "C".

Why is it so important to you?
