///
/// Consider the following C function prototype from glib:
///
/// ```C
/// void g_key_file_set_list_separator (GKeyFile *key_file, gchar separator);
/// ```
///
/// This function plainly expects a byte as the `separator` argument.  However,
/// having this function exposed to Rust as the following would be inconvenient:
///
/// ```ignore
/// impl KeyFile {
///     pub fn set_list_separator(&self, separator: libc:c_char) { }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// This would be inconvenient because users would have to do the conversion from a Rust `char` to an `libc::c_char` by hand, which is just a type alias
/// for `i8` on most system.
///
/// This `Char` type is a wrapper over an `libc::c_char`, so that we can pass it to Glib or C functions.
/// The check for whether a Rust `char` (a Unicode scalar value) actually fits in a `libc::c_char` is
/// done in the `new` function; see its documentation for details.
///
/// The inner `libc::c_char` (which is equivalent to `i8` can be extracted with `.0`, or
/// by calling `my_char.to_glib()`.
