btw, why did you restrict yourself to improving [Char], rather than [a]?

naively, it would seem to me that most of the framework should work
just as well for the general case, with some additional improvements
through specialising a to Char. and if that is the case, it hurts to think
that there is a nice framework out there that i can't use unless my a is Char.
