I'm not sure if this is 'fun', but it might be at least curious: I don't
have a UTF-8 system handy to try, but I'm wondering: what happens with
the string-xor operator on UTF-8 strings. It obviously cannot work byte-

It seems to me that the precision desired should depend on
context, and nothing else. And that being the case...

If you do this by looking at $amt, then your method must be
