The funny thing is that in original C prefix form of [] indexing was
equivalent to the postfix form.  May be, it still is in C23, I didn't
try to look in the docs or test.

You mean the fact that array[5] and 5[array] have exactly the same
meaning? That's still there. It follows from the fact that E1[E2] is
defined as equivalent to *(E1+E2), and from the fact that E1+E2 means
the same as E2+E1, when one of them is a pointer, and the other is a
integer.

However in type declarations one always had to use only postfix form.

The "declaration follows use" concept normally picks only one of the
ways in which a declarator can be used, as the one that is mirrored by
the declaration syntax.
