What for?  You can convert an unsigned char value to unsigned int if you
like.

I fail to see the purpose of these requirements.

You think there are implementations that cannot support all the semantic
required of unsigned char?

Sorry, I don't see the point of this -- even if you were using
[u]intptr_t rather than long long.

Which is why memcpy() now takes arguments of type void* and treats
the copied memory as an array of unsigned char.

Yes, there is.  ANSI defined a language in which object representations
are described in terms of arrays of unsigned char *for exactly that
reason*.

I think you're suggesting adding a lot of complexity to the language.

I was just making what was intended to be one simple point: C defines
object representations in terms of arrays of unsigned char, and using
plain char instead makes things conceptually more difficult with no
corresponding benefit.  Sure, you could patch over those difficulties by
making changes to the language, but what's the point?
