  So 'l'.charAt(0) was required - wonder if we can build in a converter for a single length string to char?
  Can't do that as equals take Object and so we don't know to do a cast in order to pass a char into equals
  We certainly cannot do a cast (unless casts are added to the syntax).  See MethodInvocationTest.testStringClass()
