Yeah, that's why I said "skeezy". But on some of compilers, you can
actually strcpy(p, "43210") and you will neither get a compile time
error nor a runtime one, because when p is in scope, it points to 6
bytes *somewhere*, even if on the stack.

Also, if you *know* p will only be as an input and will not be changed,
my syntax is OK, although a #define would be better.
