To be rigorous, we should perform "pointer" checking for every operation that performs pointer arithmetic. Then we should perform "lvalue" checking (which doesn't allow pointers one past the end) in the following places:
1. When we take the address of an lvalue.
2. When we form a reference to an lvalue.
3. When we perform an lvalue-to-rvalue conversion.
4. When we perform an assignment to an lvalue.
This sort of piecemeal approach of recursively looking through arbitrary expressions seems likely to miss cases. For example, we currently don't perform checks inside compound literals.
