We "could" do various things but a commit message should describe the
gain or motivation of doing something, even if you think it should be
obvious.

Please, dscribe the format of "array of digits" instead of waving hands
here.

This pointer increment is more confusing...

..than "&d[1]" which would also match better the earlier code.
