 5.5 Strings
 ===========
 
 In various contexts, for example the `Argument' request and the `M'
 response, one transmits what is essentially an arbitrary string.  Often
 this will have been supplied by the user (for example, the `-m' option
 to the `ci' request).  The protocol has no mechanism to specify the
 character set of such strings; it would be fairly safe to stick to the
 invariant ISO 646 character set but the existing practice is probably
 to just transmit whatever the user specifies, and hope that everyone
 involved agrees which character set is in use, or sticks to a common
 subset.
