(You can balance it out by by requiring ASSIGN(&A, &B)!)

This would not work in general, as I wrote it, the following are
valid:
assign(&a, 42)
assign(&a, a + 1)
but the second argument has no address, so your variant would not
work.

I believe that C's compound literals can give a reference to a+1:

Is there no part of C you can't misrepresent?

This is simply an anonymous object.  You could have used a named object
and it wold not have been any further from being a "reference to a+1".

      printf("a = %d\n", a);
  }
