Research direction

The issue identifies the F# specification terms "simple-string-char" and "simple-char", but names no file or test. Start by locating both definitions in the specification and compare their intended meanings. Done means the specification clearly defines "simple-string-char" and resolves whether it is being conflated with "simple-char".
