It looks like all non-printing control characters compare as

practical concern, or are you just poking around?
It started out as a practical concern, trying to find a reason for a
bug in my application.
Turns out this isn't the cause of my bug, so I guess I have
degenerated into poking around.
A follow-up ...
This discussion started with an email from a user of my software who
reported problem. I couldn't fix his problem, but found the Bad
Characters bug while trying. So, I released a new version in which
every occurrence of
string = ""
was replaced with
length of string = 0
just in case there was a problem.
I informed User of the new version and shortly thereafter received a
reply reporting that his problem had been fixed. It seems the Bad
Character bug has returned to the realm of "practical concern".
