   this is correct.  Given an array subscripting operation, it would
   certainly work to do the adjustment here, essentially computing:

   (&array[0] - (lowerbound * sizeof array[0])) + (index * sizeof array[0])

   However I believe a more appropriate and logical place to account
   for the lower bound is to do so in value_subscript, essentially
   computing:

   (&array[0] + ((index - lowerbound) * sizeof array[0]))

   As further evidence consider what would happen with operations
   other than array subscripting, where the caller would get back a
   value that had an address somewhere before the actual first element
   of the array, and the information about the lower bound would be
   lost because of the coercion to pointer type.  */

/* Given an array of arguments (ARGS) (which includes an entry for
   "this" in the case of C++ methods), the NAME of a function, and
   whether it's a method or not (METHOD), find the best function that
   matches on the argument types according to the overload resolution
   rules.

   METHOD can be one of three values:
     NON_METHOD for non-member functions.
     METHOD: for member functions.
     BOTH: used for overload resolution of operators where the
       candidates are expected to be either member or non member
       functions.  In this case the first argument ARGTYPES
       (representing 'this') is expected to be a reference to the
       target object, and will be dereferenced when attempting the
       non-member search.

   In the case of class methods, the parameter OBJ is an object value
   in which to search for overloaded methods.

   In the case of non-method functions, the parameter FSYM is a symbol
   corresponding to one of the overloaded functions.

   Return value is an integer: 0 -> good match, 10 -> debugger applied
   non-standard coercions, 100 -> incompatible.

   If a method is being searched for, VALP will hold the value.
   If a non-method is being searched for, SYMP will hold the symbol 
   for it.

   If a method is being searched for, and it is a static method,
   then STATICP will point to a non-zero value.

   If NO_ADL argument dependent lookup is disabled.  This is used to prevent
   ADL overload candidates when performing overload resolution for a fully
   qualified name.

   If NOSIDE is EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS, then OBJP's memory cannot be
   read while picking the best overload match (it may be all zeroes and thus
   not have a vtable pointer), in which case skip virtual function lookup.
   This is ok as typically EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS is only used to determine
   the result type.

   Note: This function does *not* check the value of
   overload_resolution.  Caller must check it to see whether overload
   resolution is permitted.  */
