Char can be encoded as string since GraphQL doesn't have chars. The unfortunate consequence is that a String is encoded and decoded as a list of strings.

Aeson makes use of overlapping instances to define different representations for Char and [Char].
We can live with a list of strings since it is what it really is in Haskell, a list.
We can let it be, then the user has to disambiguate this manually.
