What if a field consists of just "\f"?

I can live with the idea, but instead of trying to make up a
distinguished terminator field value, you might want to start each field
with a field marker charater (say, a space) and then make the terminator
line blank. It's some extra bytes, but it's more general.

(To the person who suggested using the number fields: I assume we want
the capability of adding fields in the future. So we can't rely on the
number of fields being constant.)
