I guess it looks okay with c.value(). What do you think?
Can the character class have operator==(char), or does this need to
be a template?
To support both the implicit conversion to char and the safe bool conversion
we'd need to implement many more operators than operator==, and I think there
would still be problems with ambiguity.
