Yes. And I have no concern at all about some C compiler that uses a different 
size. None of those C compilers will compile "portable" C code, either, even 
though the Standard permits such compilers.

If we go though a dimensional warp into an alternate universe, where C chars are 
  9 bits, we'll change the D compiler to match.
