Xerox Sigma CP/V would even permit them in file names (though the
system was EBCDIC, not ASCII -- just feeding lots of ASCII terminals).
Think of the pain someone would have trying to figure out where in a 32

line, one couldn't really determine between which printable characters the
terminal beeped while listing the directory.
