I think the original intention behind this item was that array expressions
in which the base is a pointer will remain ARRAY_REF and will not be
translated right away into pointer arithmetic, as shown here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-07/msg02013.html. (Such refs are still
transformed into address arithmetic by the front end). Was the purpose of
pointer_plus work to also support this feature?
