Probably the context for this came earlier, but I didn't see it in the
commit message, I figure I should ask:

What is the benefit of getting this right for a human reader?  Does
knowing which pointer arguments can't alias help them in tracking down
some bugs, for example?  Or is it going to help them in some other
way?

Thanks,
Jonathan
