Of course not, they know about the possibility of a '-', and how
are you going to write orderly column layout if in Ada there is no space!

Perfect ground for debate.

Will 'Image be user definable?  Like Python's __str__? Very good
for obfuscation, then. Will the encoding be part of the definition,
so that I can use it in our existing trace logs?
