That would imply that a select of a single character of a string does not
behave the same way as an integral type, such as a byte. If that were the
case, then wouldn't you have to go everywhere else in the LRM that deals
with integral types and add text about characters of strings too?

Why is this being defined inconsistently with other assignments in the
language?
