The original author was not wanting to typecast a char to a double then 
to a uint. He wanted to convert the *distance* between two characters 
(in an arbitrary character mapping) to a double. In the case of ASCII, 
the distance between the character '0' and any other character '0' 
through '9', cast to double, is a value of some interest.
