For me, without having seen that code, "sizeof(char)" is commentary code meaning same as "(size_t)1", basically.
That is, I'd vote for having such clarity, even if it functionally is equivalent to just the intergers. :)

BTW: Speaking of types and sizes ... anyone noticed sizeof(char) sprinkled throughout the source? Funny enough, but this doesn't accomplish anything. sizeof(char) is _always_ 1 (that's how sizeof quantities are defined). One realls wants to check CHAR_BIT (but the Lua core doesn't). I have some doubts that Lua works on systems where this is not 8. So one might as well remove the superfluous code.
