We have ?\s (presumably because people found ? too annoyingly fragile). Thinking about it a bit more, I think it would be kinda nice to have a literal syntax for all Unicode characters. Something like... er... ?\ucLEFT-TO-RIGHT-OVERRIDE and \?ucPILE-OF-POO? We have that table already, so perhaps that's feasible? But it's, of course, more important for the control characters, because they're just incomprehensible if you just ?=F0=9F=92=A9 them... > Btw, these controls display as thin spaces on GUI frames, and as just > spaces on a TTY; for best results you could cover each control with an > invisible text property, which would make them entirely invisible. Hm... perhaps it's good to (vaguely) show that they're there? I'm not sure. --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
