I thought about that too, but I was concerned that it would then allow
character literals in properties outside of the cell list or
bytestring syntax.  Which I suppose is exactly what you had suggested
before now that I think about it.  And would end up being no more
ambiguous, and possibly more internally consistent.  I'll make the
change and add a test case that shows that functionality as well if
that makes sense to you.

Thanks,
