May I please introduce the idea of adding a Character class:

"abc"[0] should return ?a.

The Character class should be possible to implement like
Fixnum-multitons, but is IMHO needed to provide good encoding support.
Every character should be aware of its encoding and codepoint (This
will allow--at least partly--mapping of incompatible character sets).
Besides, the Character class could implement very useful methods like
#space?, #digit?, #ascii?, #to_entity etc.

Character is, I think, the best mix of the speed of Fixnums and the
usability of Strings.
