Oh thanks for the reminder.

The separate ASCII file doesn’t solve it all because, as you write, we’d
need to change the grafting code as well.

Then it might be simpler to use a “byte vector” data type for those
strings.  We’ll have to wait for Pierre’s patches to get a better idea.
:-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
