Speaking of which:

should we allow a byte string value in a filter expression to be represented with colons, dashes, dots, or nothing as a separator between the byte values?  (Space would be trickier, as it's also a token separator; that way may lie FORTRAN IV and FORTRAN 77, the latter of which, as I remember, required a fairly carefully constructed lexical analyzer in the original Bell Labs f77 compiler, feeding a YACC parser.)
