Well, I suppose I don't really *need* this feature either. I have a plugin that provides something akin to "rich text" within Vim. It accomplishes the formatting with regions introduced by single- character "tokens", which are concealed, either through "normal" syntax concealment methods, or (for versions that support it) with the 'conceal' feature. At one point, a user suggested it would be nice to have a mapping that made the tokens temporarily visible. When I saw how 'cole' could be varied dynamically to switch between total concealment and cchar representation, I thought I had found a nice way to accomplish this; however, it's really a minor feature, so I won't be devastated if you decide it's not worth fixing. If you don't fix it, however, I would suggest that the expected behavior be documented in the help; as it is now, I think a user would reasonably expect to see cchar on both ends of the region. More generally, I think he would expect for cchar to work the same for concealends as it does for conceal. At any rate, I'm very glad this excellent feature has made it into Vim proper.
