WIP draft of chars concept #805

I decided there is enough in this to justify separating it from the Strings concept.

No decision yet on the corresponding exercise. I'll draft Strings first, then consider them both together.

There are a couple of exercises in other tracks that might work;

  • squeaky-clean (C#, F#, Clojure, Elm, Java)
  • library-of-luton (Crystal)

I had wondered about putting Chars above Strings in the syllabus, to set the scene for discussing indexing issues in Strings. However, both these exercises include an element of string handling, and tracks with a separate Chars concept seem to put it low down.

Good catch! That was sloppy copy-paste from another language track.

Nothing comes to mind at this stage, so I've removed that subsection. We may want to add it back later, when we get a better view of the advanced topics.

Luckily, the rules are non-prescriptive about the contends of this file. It's just a note to guide future maintainers.
