Thanks, Serhiy. Very nice new functionality indeed, and not having it
in 2.x isn't a problem to me. That's exactly what I was looking for -
it doesn't insist on (or complain about) separators between bytes.
(Though the error from putting a space _inside_ a byte is a little
confusing. But that's trivial.)
