Hermann has discovered this. I had no idea of it, though maybe I am just out of it. I am paraphrasing here...
comma - 2 = colon -16
Hermann suggests that there is a fundamental truth here, related to the ultimate question of life.

Anyone.
Some constants resolve in this way?
comma = charToNum(comma) --true
They "are" their ASCII value? Not all constants do this. "slash" does, but "down" does not.

Reminds me of my favourite quote from "Casablanca", where the old german emigrant couple
in the bar is making first steps with the english language:
...
Darling, what watch?
10 watch!
Oh, such much!?
