Sounds to me like calling it ichar() was an error, then. Should be chr().

The alias would only be useful to people who had been using it as
"ichar()" --- which is not many people, since it's undocumented ;-)
Furthermore, now that I look, it looks like ichar() was new in
contrib/odbc in 7.0 and has only recently been moved into the main
code.
I vote for just renaming it to chr(). Any objections?
