-# Most of the string processing across rbot is done against IRC messages, which

-# matching because otherwise some strings can give problems: in particular, for
-# example, the bytesequence "\340\350\354\362\371" (that is the aeiou vowels,
-# each with a grave accent) will cause the string to be considered up to the
-# "\354" (i with grave accent) only: so either the rest of the message is
-# ignored, or the matching fails.
