P.S. Flashback to punched-card era, when as a programmer, you'd
write your program on a paper coding form to be put on punched
cards by a key-punch operator (usually a woman) in the key-punch
pool.  You had to be especially careful to distinguish those
visually confusable characters, and various conventions were in
use, like putting a slash through a zero, or a top-curl on a
capital Oh letter, or bars through sevens and zeds.
