( x -- x false | char true )

If the keyboard event x corresponds to a character in the implementation-defined character set, return that character and true. Otherwise return x and false.

See:
A.10.6.2.1306 EKEY>CHAR.

Rationale:
EKEY>CHAR translates a keyboard event into the corresponding member of the character set, if such a correspondence exists for that event.

It is possible that several different keyboard events may correspond to the same character, and other keyboard events may correspond to no character.
