I was going to suggest using inchar:"%i", but thought it might be useful
to check whether it worked first. Well... surprise, surprise, it
doesn't.
inchar:"9" also has amusing consequences.

[ 951388 ] inchar: "string"; inchar: 9

inchar:"q"$
(q28) foo$
(q29) q28; => q28
(q30) "q28" => foo
!!! It has assigned a value to a string, which is
illegal:
(q31) "q28": 234234; => improper value assignment
especially amusing if you assign inchar:""....
inchar also allows itself to be assigned a number:
inchar:"9"
(932) foo$
(933) ?\932; => foo
