 Passing Conformant Array Parameters
 -----------------------------------
 
    Conformant arrays are a feature of Modula-2, and perhaps other
 languages, in which the size of an array parameter is not known to the
 called function until run-time.  Such parameters have two stabs: a `x'
 for the array itself, and a `C', which represents the size of the
 array.  The value of the `x' stab is the offset in the argument list
 where the address of the array is stored (it this right?  it is a
 guess); the value of the `C' stab is the offset in the argument list
 where the size of the array (in elements? in bytes?) is stored.
