Bug #5863: Integer#chr may return a string with multiple characters

=begin
Is this a bug?

  256.chr("SHIFT_JIS").length #=> 2

I think so, as it means that #chr and #ord can't be treated as inverses, and is generally confusing.

If not, the documentation for #chr should be changed, as it implies that the returned string is always a single character.
