Can anybody explain this (v 5.15.0):

(%i1) cint("B");
(%o1)                                98
(%i2) ascii(%);
(%o2)                                &b
(%i3) ascii(98);
(%o3)                                &b
(%i4) cint(%);
(%o4)                                98

Given that the ascii value for "B" is in fact 66, what's going on here?
What's this "&b"?

Thanks,
Alasdair
