I can think of three others.  There may be more.

 Yes, very good.  I count four or five, depending on what
differences count as different.

Well, I implement only three of those (ie. of my four) in my code generator. (X[i] gets reduced to *X before this point.)
If there are any other categories, then they've never been encountered in any of the C projects I've tested.
(My language has nearly 10 categories, including one where the dual results of a 'divrem' op is assign to two LHS values. Are the extra ones in C anything like that, eg. to do with 'complex' assignment?)
