Well, I admit this is an error.
Internally, a declaration of ,,char'' as an argument is converted to
,,int''. It could remain ,,char'' and the address adjusted, but what
do you do with ,,float'' converted to ,,double''?

I will fix this for integral data types (char, short, int etc) such that
a ,,pea 9(a6)'' results.

Besides, you should take the casting of char to int in the argument into
account. Imagine a machine with totally different data types for char and
int. Perhaps one should never declare char, short or float arguments.
