For most people new to C, it's enough to tell them that "int* a, b;"
declares "a" as a "pointer to int" and "b" as an "int".  You tell them
it is a bad idea to write such code, even re-arranged as "int *a, b;",
because it is easy to get wrong - they should split the line into two
declarations (preferably with initialisations).  The C newbie will thank
you for the lesson, and move on to write C code without writing such
mixed declarations.

That's why the newbies are preferred for programming; they are flexible,
cheap, and they do what they are told. ;-)  (Sorry, could not resist.)
