C has no arrays! (on the heap)

Question

CC can't do this?
int iary[] = (int[])iary_padr
Who could imagine such a thing, if it didn't exist already? K&R's "stdc" appendix 6.8.2 iterates some drivel about static initializers, proposing a convenient (sic) workaround (sic) for dynamic memory
iary[cc] <==> *(iary_padr+cc)
This situation is plainly absurd. Someone has (very successfully) played a hideous joke on this language, and to the great benefit of their resume. One is left to replace clean array syntax with bug-prone, unreadable pointer arithmetic? what's the compiler for?
the compiler helps one to avoid bugs by writing simpler expressions than available in a lower level language (asm).
"As simple as possible, but no simpler." Which in this case means having array syntax, rather than not.
Originally, "int[]" was syntactically and semantically identical to "int*" in parameter passing. This is C. We need to recognize that the standardizers have persued another language -- a higher level language, and one which would not have have pointers, ultimately, but some handle or object concept.
How can the C programming language not be able to access the heap using array syntax?
Sun folks need to JUST SAY NO to this absurdity. it necessarily won't break any code anywhere if CC were to allow array casts. If standardizers break the language, ignore them! No one needs this nonsensical jibberish for anything.
