But yes, I've wanted a shorter syntax for char-literals-as-bytes as
well. Something like 'x'u8 perhaps? Or I guess we could just infer it,
but that adds a fair amount of complexity to the typechecker.
Does it? I thought it'd just involve shifting char into the set of types
subject to integer-literal type inference.
Maybe the default (not enough information to infer) would have to change
from int to char, for 'x', but otherwise I'd be surprised if it would be
a deep change.
Lindsey can probably enlighten us more here..
