Should have referenced a bug killer rather than a weed killer, no? 
CsvSP252BlackFlag?

Not having to document it LOL. I suppose not having to provide it on an 
ongoing, "upward compatible" basis.

Seriously, I agree with @Gil. Wasting a few bytes should be the default, not 
leaving a few bytes unprotected.

Document it.  What's IBM trying to protect via obscurantism?
(Cf. Tom Brennan's ply.)

What's the harm in specifying CsvSP252RoundUp TRAPS on a
production system?  I suspect:

o Squandering a couple slack KiB for each module loaded.

o Possible program checks in poorly implemented vendor products.
  Conscientious vendors should be willingly repair those (what
  would IBM do?)

o RoundUp  is a suspected carcinogen.
