Επίσης, στην C δεν θέλουμε να γίνεται bounds checking για λόγους 
ταχύτητας και χρήσης μνήμης. Δεν έχω πρόχειρο το πρότυπο της γλώσσας, 
αλλά νομίζω ότι είναι στις προδιαγραφές της γλώσσας να μην γίνεται 
bounds checking. Σε αυτό το στυλ ξεκίνησε η γλώσσα το 1970 και το 
συνέχισε και ο Stroustrup στην C++ (για την οποία όμως υπάρχει η STL).
