(Fwd) printf for converting numbers to letters, bug?

[Bart Schaefer <schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Looks like "%c" is interpreting the argument as a string and printing
the first character thereof.  It should work more like %d, shouldn't it?

hi bart (hero:) )!

I wanted to do printf "%c\n" {65..101}
to get some ascii-letters and did not succeed.

Is this wanted behaviour?
