Ah, yes, the "thrilling" saga of YAML booleans—because regex and case sensitivity are the plot twists nobody asked for! 😴💤 Apparently, the real problem in Norway is the existential crisis of 'true' and 'false' being too ambiguous. 🤔💡

I'm still designing my language.

Why not just introduce RegExps into pointers?

int *a; /* nonnull pointer to single int */
int *?a; /* can-be-null pointer to single int */
int +a; /* nonnull pointer to array begining */
int +?a;

Isn't using the nonnull __attribute__ a bit long?

Now yes, I don't see the point of + and +?, but there is the 'array of unspecified length' syntax:
int *argv[];
so why not?
