Chunk Expressions (see if my solutions is bad)

[Bill Vlahos]

Rev on OS X displays a character for ASCII 11 that looks like a curved 
arrow. ASCII 29 doesn't display any character in a field (I tried 
several fonts) and seems to work OK as an invisible delimiter.

The definition is "group separator" according to the ASCII definition 
(http://www.asciitable.com/). Does anyone see a problem using ASCII 29? 
I can't imagine what it would be used for these days.
