There is a section in the French introduction wondering why something like
	print("%c\n", 'û');
can work.  It is indeed a little surprising, but in any case we
recently changed the compiler to warn not only when a character
constant overflows, but also if it turns on a sign bit (that is, if it
overflows one bit sooner).  This program now draws a warning.  It also
still works....
