a perpetual source of friction for me.
99% of my char literals need to be of type char.
On the other hand once you have suffixes to specify the char
type, most of that problem vanishes, because writing 'x'c or
'x'w, 'x'd is good.

Or, uniform construction for built-in types would be another
better way.
auto c = char('a');
auto w = wchar('a');
auto d = dchar('a');
auto x = char('à'); // compile-time error
