:: Both sound fine. But I would avoid "fixing" implementations for languages you are not familiar with (since some languages implement special characters in strings and assuming a special character would be treated literally would be bad -- granted, the chances of any of the characters here being special is low, but there's no point fixing something if you cannot know if your fix is correct). --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:31, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 
::: Understood. The point of verifying if an example will pass the "what-is-a-legal/special-character" was foremost on my mind. I know a few languages treat an exclamation point ['''!'''] as special. I hope flagging the various program examples won't be construed as picayune; the task is almost a definition of simplicity itself. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:21, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
