A pointer to `char` can alias any object, so in theory one could write code that looks like below. 
This piece of code is probably nonsense, but it illustrates the exact necessity of the `restrict` 
qualifiers:

    char*
    dumb(char* p)
      {
        strtol((const char*) &p, &p, 0);
        return p;
      }

    // warning: passing argument 2 to 'restrict'-qualified parameter
    // aliases with argument 1
