Re: word breaks and control-a



Rich pointed out an alternative interpretation of the bugs section note
i just sent out.  i meant:

        Woe betide the environment string set by some other program to
        contain either the character control-a or the sequence control-b
        followed by control-a or control-b.

es variables could then be set safely to any string not containing
the nul character.
