FWIW, Keith's table and Mr. Marshall's explanation are both correct.
However, it should be pointed out that CW and GCC are not alone in deviation
from the standards in the handling of literals. A huge number of compilers
mess this up. I still say the safest way to manage literals is to
explicitly cast.
