Then why prefer the warning? Nobody's actually disputed my point: that by making \z an error, it's possible to add \z to mean something later (\0xFFFF, say) with no possibility that it already appears somewhere in existing code.

John, I forgot about your point wrt the possibility of \z acquiring a future meaning, if we should "reserve" \z by making it an error (today). I like your idea; accordingly, I have "decamped" from the "sloppy" faction. ;-)

So, I guess I am not indifferent after all... Thanks for the reminder!

Cheers,
Keith
