-Note that `malloc` as part of the Crowbar standard library has signature `(char[size])* malloc(size_t size);` and so no cast is needed above.
+Note that `malloc` as part of the Crowbar standard library has signature `(void[size])* malloc(size_t size);` and so no cast is needed above.
+In C, `buffer` in `main` would have type pointer-to-VLA-of-char, but `buffer` in `process` would have type VLA-of-char, and this conversion would emit a compiler warning.
+However, in Crowbar, a `(T[N])*` is always implicitly convertible to `T[N]`, so no warning exists.
+(This is translated into C by dereferencing `buffer` in `main`.)
+
Note as well that the type of `argv` is complicated.
This is because the elements of `argv` have unconstrained size.
TODO figure out if that's the right way to handle that
