And explains why `sizeof (c + 1)' can be 1...

I just noticed that most beginners' text probably would have trouble
explaining the following (implementation-specific) results on basis of
`precedence' alone (At least, I had never come across such concepts before I
started using C: and _I_ still wouldn't call it precedence.)

sizeof + (char) 1  == 4
sizeof (char) + 1  == 2
