I'm not sure this is required. Many functions that deal with
characters (in this case: letters) do operate on (int) instead
of (char). For example getc() and getchar(), but also getch()
from NCurses do so. It's common to simply compare those (int)
value to character constants without casting them to (char)
before comparison.
