For the most part we say "char" where we can and "unsigned char" only
where it really matters, which is mostly inside code that's
encoding-aware anyway.
It was only fairly recently that we cleaned the code up to avoid
signedness warnings, but now that that's done I don't want to backtrack
on it. What I'd suggest is taking a close look at the set of functions
you have and trying to identify a layer that should be "unsigned char"
versus upper layers that can just say "char".
