+Warn when an object referenced by a @code{restrict}-qualified parameter
+(or, in C++, a @code{__restrict}-qualified parameter) is aliased by another
+argument, or when copies between such objects overlap. For example,

+by replacing its initial characters with the last four. However, because
+the call writes the terminating NUL into @code{a[4]}, the copies overlap and
