No. Even if we accept integers, this is a kludge liable to change,
and should be (un)documented as such. No correct code should ever
rely on `string' accepting integers.
I mean it should have the kind of warning `concat' has.
[...] Oh, the comment in `concat' is wrong:
(concat 65 65)
=> "6565"
Well, make `string' consistent.
(string 65)
=> "65"
