The previous versions sometimes produced * for blank fields and
sometimes not.  We considered this to be a bug and fixed it.

See https://github.com/samtools/samtools/issues/496 for the gory

No.  I do not think we would want to add this either as in the
previous version tools would have to cope with the presence of a "*"

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM

apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
