0000011: Support CHAR_BIT!=8
Actually two items:
* support native CHAR_BIT!=8 (e.g., the current string-escaping techniques won't work for CHAR_BIT==10 as they assume all characters can be octal-escaped)
* support target CHAR_BIT different than native CHAR_BIT

The absolute minimum CHAR_BIT we could have to worry about is 6 (EBDIC platforms), although representing the entire legal character set takes 7 bits.
No tags attached.
