I don't have N1570 conveniently at hand.

I'm talking about the final sentence in paragraph 13 in C99
6.7.5.3 "Function declarators (including prototypes)":

      (In the determination of type compatibility and of a
      composite type, each parameter declared with function or
      array type is taken as having the adjusted type and each
      parameter declared with qualified type is taken as having
      the unqualified version of its declared type.)

Sorry, the lack of N1570 makes me not follow this.
