Such as the terminal program I copied this from. (Grrrr! It breaks
copying and pasting grep commands from one window to another.)

But that is exactly how symbols are exported (assuming you mean *
rather than *). Normalization for hash access (which is how we would
have to do this), even if it is limited to stashes, would be an effic-
iency nightmare.
P.S.: This e-mail is in utf-8 encoding, but lynx does not know how to
add an encoding header, so the text may appear scrambled.
