As for the simple question of unsigned versus signed for any2string, I have never heard of using negative values for chars, so it makes perfect sense to me to use 0-255. That'll will give at least the full latin charset.
OK. I guess I'll make unsigned values the default for [any2string] then, postponing the issue of name change to [any2bytes] rsp. [bytes2any] to a hypothetical future in which the "string" suffix implies unicode or other non-byte-oriented representation.
