Description
Looking at: https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model/blob/main/design/mvp/Explainer.md?plain=1#L638-L653 it shows that a string should be despecialized to a list<char>, but it is not implemented like that in definitions.py, is that a conflict?

Determine whether the difference is intentional or an implementation/specification mismatch; done means the discrepancy and required follow-up are clearly established.
