I am not one to be picky (usually), but isn't *string (a.k.a. string[0])
of type char?  If so, any expression yeilding a result of type char
would be legal.  Yes, an integer expression would also be legal, but
depending on the result of the expression and the sizes of char and int on
the particular machine you could end up losing bits.
