Understood and fine with it.
I just wanted to have asked and clarified.

Ok, I'll add some (C) line(s) matching the author(s).

Ok, then let's leave it as it is.

I have added a BUG_ON if anyone tries to access an index different from 0.
Why BUG_ON? Because there is no way to cure this situation safely.

Well, I would consider using a 1-element array when the plan is to use an n-element
array as more future-proof...

But I have changed it for v5.
