I was unaware that platforms could change the signedness of "char".
Thanks for guarding against it.

You're right that it probably isn't worth saving space here, as these
values are replacing existing globals somewhere anyway. If we start
worrying about these being present for each of thousands of submodules
then we probably have bigger problems.

I'll use 'int' in v2.
