This class represents characters.
Notice, that actual character objects are not used when characters
are stored in strings, symbols or twoByteStrings; these only store
a characters asciiValue for a more compact representation.
The word 'asciiValue' is a historic leftover - actually, any integer
code is allowed (i.e. characters are not limited to 8bit).
Single byte Characters are unique;
i.e. for every asciiValue (0..255) there exists exactly one instance of
Character, which is shared (Character value:xxx checks for this, and returns
a reference to an existing instance).
Other characters (i.e. asciivalue > 255) are not shared; i.e. these
are created as required.
This means: you may compare characters using #== ONLY IFF you are certain,
that the characters ranges is 0..255. Otherwise, you HAVE TO compare
using #=. (if in doubt, always compare using #=).
Sorry for this inconvenience, but it is (practically) impossible to keep
the possible maximum of 2^32 characters (Unicode) around, for that
convenience alone.
Methods marked as (JS) come from the manchester Character goody
(CharacterComparing) by Jan Steinman, which allow Characters to be used as
Interval elements (i.e. ($a to:$z) do:[...] );
They are not a big deal, but convenient add-ons.
Some of these have been modified a bit.
WARNING: characters are known by compiler and runtime system -
do not change the instance layout.
Also, although you can create subclasses of Character, the compiler always
creates instances of Character for literals ...
... and other classes are hard-wired to always return instances of characters
in some cases (i.e. String>>at:, Symbol>>at: etc.).
Therefore, it may not make sense to create a character-subclass.
