Log Message:
-----------
Distinguish listy ords/chrs from ord/chr

It will be too confusing to overload ord/chr with both scalar and
list semantics.  This will also give more information to the optimizer
at compile time, since it cannot know whether .ord will be passed
a single- or multi-character string
