Yeah, I can't see that getting through review here :-).

It is valid Java, although I can't think of any other languages that let
you do that.

This seems like a sensible change.
I generally like to get rid of the pointless warnings so that the useful
ones can't hide in the noise. Perhaps "CFLAGS += -Wno-string-plus-int"
would be better for this particular warning, but when there's only one
bit of code that triggers it, tweaking that seemed simpler.
