Comment (by eschnett):

 Carpet currently writes an array of characters (not an array of integers),
 thus the difference between this and a string is small.

 The patch does not close the new datatype, leading to a memory leak.

 The readers of these attributes, used mostly during recovery, also need to
 be updated to read strings and not expect arrays of characters.
