This is clearer than "4"?
If there were any remote chance that Microsoft would invent some new,
different-length spelling of the ".exe" suffix in the foreseeable
future, I might agree that this was good code. As is, it looks like
unhelpful obscurantism, because it requires a very close reading of the
details of the C spec to confirm that it is correct and not wrong.
Code that looks wrong on its face is not an improvement over code that
is readable but doesn't cover changes that won't ever happen.
