“You are the number 1111 (base 255) for me.” isn’t even a backhanded compliment any more, or is it?

It felt unusual at first that they attached semantics to (white spaces and tabs as) non-printable characters. On the other hand other n.p.- characters like line feeds always had a meaning (I.e. within multi line strings).
So why not, when it helps to reduce the amount of (printable) characters to describe your thing and increase clarity? 🤔
