//// A charlist is a list of integers where all the integers are valid code
//// points.

//// In practice, you will not come across them often, except perhaps when
//// interfacing with Erlang, in particular when using older libraries that do
//// not accept binaries as arguments.
/// A list of characters represented as ints. Commonly used with Erlang
/// functions that do not accept binary strings such as Gleam's core string
/// type.
