These 8bit characters do not display well here too. Actually, they're
only used as unique ID in the array for long format option. 
Here follows an example on how to use 'dump_caps' when one-char short command
is not available. Long format-only is okay with seldomly used commands.

    (fillods@charybde:tests)$ ./rigctl -vvvvvv
    rigctl, Hamlib version 1.1.4cvs
