I haven't checked, but youre probably right. However Ive never come across 
that usage of  a literal in unicode or ascii (why increment a string lteral 
at declaration time?). But doing it to chars is quite common e.g. converting 
to a number string ('a' + n etc).

Only about 5 cases in VWCL itself.

Either works for me. All I really want is -Wall clean ;-)
