Hi guys AFAIK I think this is purely a API issue, I mean, how much normalized API we can have. There's an overhead doing this. In other words, this is aesthetic vs. efficiency. Ideally, print_char(serial_data,"a") would be preprocessed into serial_data = "a". But we don't have any preprocessor...
Such a proc wouldn't hurt, it could still add confusion to user. I wouldn't be in favor of creating such a procedure...
