I believe that in C the two are completely equivalent.  (Is that not so
in VC++?) I just have a prejudice that &arr[n] should be used when one
means a pointer to a single element, and arr+n when one wants a pointer
to the array from that position (even though in C they're the same thing).

BTW, I also changed the argument to itoa(); hope that's OK.
