| 13.2.17  char-int | 
Function | 
  
 - Syntax:
 - 
char-int
character
  
  integer
  - Arguments and Values:
 - 
character - a character.
integer - a non-negative integer.
 
  - Description:
 - 
Returns a non-negative integer encoding the character object.
The manner in which the integer is computed is implementation-dependent.
In contrast to sxhash, the result is not guaranteed to be independent 
of the particular Lisp image.
If character has no implementation-defined attributes,
the results of char-int and char-code are the same. 
 
 
 (char= c1 c2) ==(= (char-int c1) (char-int c2))
 
for characters c1 and c2.
  - Examples:
 - 
 (char-int #\A)   65       ; implementation A
 (char-int #\A)   577      ; implementation B
 (char-int #\A)   262145   ; implementation C
