Doh. I knew that.

But that does make me wonder why we're bothering to escape more than the
minimum (0x0a, maybe 0x0d, '|' and '\'). It's not like introducing a TAB
(SOH, STX, whatever) character in the file will break it.

Peter, two questions for you:

1. Is 0x00 allowed in a field? (no, I hope)
2. What's the end-of-line terminator, just LF? (on Windows too, right?)
