Why? The type char is defined by the C standard to be an 8bit signed integer.
The type unsigned char is defined to be an 8bit unsigned integer. Why would

That doesn't resolve Roy's question of "why overload signed char and

Can anyone point to a platform where int8_t/uint8_t != signed/unsigned char?
If so, I agree with the patch.
If not... Roy's question remains.
