So we get:

   char +/- int  : okay
   int  +/- char : okay
   char  -  char : okay
   char  +  char : baddie!

I Look at this this way: Nobody in his right mind is gonna
try to put into the compiler, which kinds of calculation
make "sense" and which don't; that would be just insane.

Also, in C at least a char is just another kind of number
that just happens to be about the right size for an ASCII
value, at least that's the way I look at it... ;-)
