I'm coming to that conclusion as well. If you look closely, both
charin() and charout() act that way already; so the second proposal
boils down to making the text <=> char conversion functions act in
accordance with the way that char's I/O conversions already act.
That seems a less drastic change than altering both I/O and conversion
behavior.
