casts and constants
The Ritchie C compiler does not treat the construct

       (char) 100

as a constant.  This means that statements like

       switch(c) {
               case (char) 0x80:       foobar();

are illegal.  The Portable C compiler on the 11, and the VAX C compiler
do not suffer from this problem.
