But of course in Smalltalk you can have a string with only one character in
it.  But:

$a is not equal to 'a'
$a is equal to 'a' first or 'a' at: 1.

Having a Character class in Smalltalk is valuable because there are
messages one might want to send to a character that wouldn't make sense
sending to a string, even one of length 1.
