## Message

```
translate-c: better codegen for pointer index by int literal

#8589 introduced correct handling of signed (possibly negative) array access
of pointers. Since unadorned integer literals in C are signed, this resulted
in inefficient generated code when indexing a pointer by a non-negative
integer literal.

```
