Hi magnum,
Just a thought - one of the items on the wish list is
-support for arbitrary characters in rules pp, eg. 0xBF or \xBF
To me, this looks like an example for an "arbitrary" 1 byte character
(meaning of the character depends on code page/encoding).
Should we consider arbitrary unicode characters instead?
I didn't dare tinkering with your whish list entries, that's why
I thought to mention this on john-dev.
May be the most useful or easiest to implement option
depends on the use case.
In external modes, you can already use arbitrary characters,
at least arbitrary 1 byte characters.
For incremental mode, the extension to arbitrary 1 byte characters
(or, to the subset of those non-ascii characters that are printable
in certain encodings) might be useful, depending on the "target
language", even if extending the character set has other drawbacks.
Regards,
Frank
