Then stick with char's - the slightly odd appearance is SO's fault not yours.

Or pick better variable names :D -- also (and this is getting a bit too programmer-y for EL&U) I would tend to write "char is defined in multiple scopes".

To reference my example, you'll note that chars is a variable, so writing chars to mean the plural of char adds ambiguity that needs to be avoided.
