Ah, silly me. I did not realized the nature of this change is to support wide
char literals. Just look up what wide char string literals is, now I
have a better
idea. You are right. We should support both. My previous patch is wrong
to set the type of wide char string as "long" type.

So L"hello word\n" pointer are incompatible with char * pointer right?
And the wchar_t is implementation specific. I am wondering should I just
pick 16 bit or 32 bit in sparse. Maybe just make it compatible with what
gcc does.

Obviously, it need more patches to support wide char string literals.
