Brad,
The issue is that if you look at the LRM, you'll find two identical types now: byte and char.
Both are defined as a signed 2-state, 8-bit integer. Surely we don't need two identical types,
specially when we are trying to minimize the addition of new keywords.

Arturo,
I don't think 'byte' is *conceptually* redundant. If anything, 'byte' is a
more basic concept than 'char'. We shouldn't force people to say 'char'
when they mean 'byte'.
