Should there be a template constraint on there to limit C1 and C2 to char types?

I don't know, I was wondering about that too.  I just copied cmp()'s signature, which also doesn't have any constraints.

Since there is only one (i)cmp template, a template constraint isn't needed for disambiguation.  So the only reason to add one is to improve documentation and error messages, both of which are arguable.
