The key point is that an expression of array type does not always get
converted into a pointer to the first element of that array. The clause
above starts out with four exceptions, and an array behaves quite
differently from a pointer when any of those exceptions apply.

 
There are three exceptions, not four.
 
The N1570 draft of C11 incorrectly says:

I was quoting from n3096.pdf, dated April 1, 2023. It says:

"Except when it"
1. "is the operand of the sizeof operator,"
2. "or typeof operators,"
3. "or the unary & operator,"
4. "or is a string literal used to initialize an array, ..."

What am I miscounting?
