| 13 | Strings and symbols are converted to an int array that |
| 14 | consists of the args characters. Note that the string "12" will be |
| 15 | converted to the array ({ 33, 34 }), and not ({ 33, 34, 0 }) (the |
| 16 | LDMud versions prior to 3.3 returned the latter array). |

| 21 | are. |

| 26 | (in no particular order). |

| 29 | The cast notation only works if the precise type of <value> |
| 30 | is known at compile-time. This will not be fixed - use the |
| 31 | function form instead. |

| 33 | HISTORY |
