register allows the programmer to promise not to take the address of an
object. IMO, being able to give this promise would be very useful for
objects at file scope, especially, if these are shared across multiple
translation units.
After all with such an object declared as register, the compiler could
be sure that no pointers that have been obtained from
who-knows-whereever point to the object.
