Major Description
CHAR type is not widely used by users, however, the type has specific need to be supported and requires significant time to do it right.
Let's consider the ability to get rid of the type.
List possibility solutions ordered by priority:
1. Make CHAR type an alias for VARCHAR, but take into account that in the future we can start supporting the type in the right way and need to be sure we can support smooth migration from the version that does not support CHAR to the new one with such support ( as example - metadata for such type should reflect real type VARCHAR)
2. Forbid CHAR type at all. No alias even.
