the problem is in (1) not all fonts having all chars [esp cmr have gaps] 
and (2) handling catcodes when args are passed around,

in tables this is very nasty (and related to typeset tex in its own 
language; compare xml where you have to escape < > " to do the same)

\tttf\string{
works quite well unless the scanner wants matching {}'s
as do \texescape \leftargument \rightargument
