  One of the best quality of life fixes D has over C (and by extensions C++) is getting rid of this complexity. In D you can simply go right-to-left. So instead of having

      char *str[10];
  

  you'd have

      char*[10] str;
  

  which when read right-to-left trivially results in "str is a array 10 of pointer to char"

  More readable version with ascok art, as the spiral rule:
