maybe it's anoob question, but
why do we have to treat the key as a "string"? Cannot be just

listed earlier)? So we do not have to care about codepages and
encodings and such?
You could do that in the server using the binary protocol, but the
text protocol wouldn't be able to deal with it. It'd be good to
remain limited to the lowest common denominator.
I don't think anyone *really* cares about being able to use a jpeg as
a key.
