Is that not, becouse there was no good syntax and it would hard to
parse?

like:

template <char... Chars_ = 'O', 'i', 'n', 'k'> // Looks odd
struct Foo;

Or there is other reasoning after that?

I don't see any problem with my syntax, it feels rather natural for
me.
Problem i see, is more like: "Why character types should be `better'
that for example int?"

Anyway, having this is not essential...
