I think it is valuable to ask questions like that, but the problem is that
too many of the answers are "well, if your machine allows you to cast pointers
to integers with no change in bits, then you could do this"; if folks are
going to post the answer on comp.std.c, it would be nice if they'd constrain
the answers to what the Standard actually says is guaranteed...
