-[^1]: It turns out that `y-x` is also undefined behavior because [one may only subtract pointers into the same allocation](https://timsong-cpp.github.io/cppwp/n4140/expr.add#6). However, we could use `i = ((size_t)y - (size_t)x)/sizeof(int)` to work around that.

 But we are not done yet: This rule has a special exception that we can exploit to our advantage.
 If the arithmetic ends up computing a pointer *just past* the end of an allocation, that computation is fine.

 With this, I think we are ready to look at a first draft of my "2018 memory model" (working title ;) -- in the next post. :)
