/* Given a value which is an array, return a value which is a pointer to its

   bound.

   FIXME:  A previous comment here indicated that this routine should be
   substracting the array's lower bound.  It's not clear to me that this
   is correct.  Given an array subscripting operation, it would certainly
   work to do the adjustment here, essentially computing:

   (&array[0] - (lowerbound * sizeof array[0])) + (index * sizeof array[0])

   However I believe a more appropriate and logical place to account for
   the lower bound is to do so in value_subscript, essentially computing:

   (&array[0] + ((index - lowerbound) * sizeof array[0]))

   As further evidence consider what would happen with operations other
   than array subscripting, where the caller would get back a value that
   had an address somewhere before the actual first element of the array,
   and the information about the lower bound would be lost because of
   the coercion to pointer type.
