"Hello"[2] (which is 'l') is truly constant, in my eyes. This could fall
under C99 6.6. OTOH, as also mentioned on #gcc, this may be some
undefined thing wrt. C99 and it may be in conflict with 6.6.9.
However, I'd love to see this implemented:-)
it fails to be an arithmetic constant expression as it involves something
not on the list of allowed things that [6/6]/9 lists.
But, we're allowed to accept other things in an implementation defined
manner (para 10).
