But in C that's just syntax sugar for pointer math.

It still makes it possible to have bounds checking. (And it is also not true anymore for C2Y.)

Except it is more obvious what is the intention, it is about clarity to the reader.

My point was indeed, that if you don't use pointer arithmetic in C, that means that you don't use arrays. I mean when you declare arrays of a fixed size, you can also declare an equivalent number of primitive variables instead, but I would find that inconvenient. Hence the question.
