> CHAR type is not widely used by users, however, the type has specific need to
> be supported and requires significant time to do it right.
> Let's consider the ability to get rid of the type.
> List possibility solutions ordered by priority:
> 1. Make CHAR type an alias for VARCHAR, but take into account that in the
> future we can start supporting the type in the right way and need to be sure
> we can support smooth migration from the version that does not support CHAR
> to the new one with such support ( as example - metadata for such type should
> reflect real type VARCHAR)
> 2. Forbid CHAR type at all. No alias even.
