I've checked it in to make it a "byte array" rather than a "string", because
it's really *not* a string - it's a collection of strings with non-text (in any
character encoding I know of) separators between key and value strings and
between the value string and the next key string.

That means:

    it won't display in a nice textual format;

    if you want to search for a string in it you'd need to put the string in
quotes;

    copying it will give you a bunch of hex values with colons between them;

but the alternative is not being able to copy it at all (Windows) or getting
something that's not all that valid to paste (UN*X), so....
