;;; Characters are handled internally as integers representing their
;;; code value.  This is necessary because elisp allows a lot of fancy
;;; modifiers that set certain high-range bits and the resulting values
;;; would not fit into a real Scheme character range.  Additionally,
;;; elisp wants characters as integers, so we just do the right thing...
