Issue #9036: Throughout the code base, Py_CHARMASK is used on 8-bit wide signed/unsigned chars or on integers directly derived from those. In all cases, it could be replaced by a simple cast to (unsigned char). Reasons for the change: a) Make the comment more explicit. b) If char is unsigned, the cast is optimized away. c) If char is unsigned, gcc emits spurious "array subscript has type 'char'" warnings.
