Comment:
If you really need a `char` type at the database level, then you can write
a custom model field that does that (it's documented how to write custom
fields). This isn't needed in Django core, however, since the number of
cases where you really need a fixed-length field right-padded with spaces
is very minimal. The `varchar` type can handle all those cases (possible,
again, with a custom model field if you really want the right-padding).
