Is the main issue that there are doubts whether pointers one-past may be
"outside the address space of the program"? To me it's pretty clear that
while the standard doesn't appear to formally define the "address space",
the intent is that pointers one-past would be a part of it for. There are
indications in 6.5.8/5 ("When two pointers are compared, the result
depends on the relative locations in the address space of the objects
pointed to...") and footnote 106 to 6.5.6 in C11.
