Re: `var' buglets

Harald's right;  this has been on my task list as a ``i should get to
this one day'' sort of thing.  it'll be fixed in the next release.

the only question i really have is, what do you do with characters >= 128?
utf people probably want them printed.  as do those of us with 8-bit char
sets (as opposed to 7-bit ascii).  what does xterm want?  does it just
strip the high bit?

ps:  my goal for var all along has been that its output should be
printed one entry per line (meaning newline->\n translations),
with control characters protected so that they can be pasted back
to recreate the original text.
