100% YES!
If two values are the same, then any function on those two values should
return the same result. Otherwise what does "equals" mean? At the very
least length() is broken by your argument.
Here it's CHAR that's broken IMHO - spawn of some punch-card spawned
data processing rules of the 70s.
