Is 5 a char, short, unsigned, int, or long? Whichever it is, that's
what &5 points at. If &5 works, I would also expect &'', &5L, &5U, and
so on, to work.
Seriously, though, this is useful but it doesn't have a prayer of making
it into the standard. The committee is supposed to standardize the
existing language, not add features.
