Are there any limits on what characters can be used in an array key?
For example, do tab characters cause problems?
Many thanks.

Earlier this month I mentioned having rec'd the definition for arrayEncoded data, at the bottom of this post:
<http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2012-April/170660.html>

While that article is still being finished, from what I've seen in Mark Waddingham's example code it seems that the only character we must avoid in array keys is NULL, since that's used internally as a delimiter between the key and the value.

As far as I can tell, all other characters are allowable.
