I never argued such a thing.  I was arguing *against* implicitly
converting any char type to an integer type.

Yes, it's convenient to be able to do char math without casts, but the
kind of bugs that crop up with inadvertent implicit conversion of char
types to int is much more costly than this minor convenience.
