+/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition

+ * Exercise 5-6: Rewrite appropriate programs from earlier chapters and
+ * exercises with pointers instead of array indexing. Good possibilites
+ * include getline (Chapters 1 and 4), atoi, itoa, and their variants
+ * (Chapters 2, 3, and 4), reverse (Chapter 3), and strindex and getop
+ * (Chapter 4).
+ *
+ * Answer: This is more of the same. Practice or homework, basically. Thing is,
+ * I hate homework, so let's do the bare minimum and only do the functions
+ * that were explicitly listed. :)
+ *
+ * A cool side effect of using pointers is pointer-based functions seem to be
+ * shorter!
