title: allow writing single character values to buffer objects (e.g. buf[123] = 'x')
desc: |-
Currently the string value will be coerced to a number which leads to
quite unexpected behavior. For instance, buf[123] = 'x' will assign 0x00
to the buffer, and buf[123] = '9' will assign 0x09 (not 0x39) to the buffer.

Taking the byte value of the first byte of a string would actually work quite
well. Because strings are guaranteed to have NUL terminator, empty strings
would cause a zero to be written which is reasonably intuitive. For non-ASCII
characters the first byte of the extended UTF-8 representation would be used:
not great (better might be codepoint & 0xff) but probably good enough.
