But it leaves the meaning of a literal like 'abcd' up to the compiler.
I did something very perverse -- but 'legal' -- in the compiler I
started writing for class...
Also recall that sizeof('c') == sizeof(int). I suspect, though, that
literals like 'abcd' are left from the B (word-addressable, not
byte-addressable) days.
A quick check of /sys/src/cmd/cc/lex.c shows that kenc disallows such horrors.
