As far as I was aware, if they operate on char*, they are equivalent,
since sizeof(char) = 1. However, if the code is ever switched to using
unicode characters, which makes it a short*, then b = &b[5] is
equivalent to b += 5 * sizeof(short), which is b += 10. For the moment
they are the same, but since unicode support is a distinct possibility
in the future its best to keep it as easy as we can.

Fine, its not a problem now, I was just making everyone aware that
unicode adds certain concerns.

Thanks
