Ok since I got this before posting, I'll suggest | instead of **.

****Now on the issue of "one or more characters":  ******
This came up briefly a few months ago, but nobody followed-up and it seemed
nobody was interested.   Someone please suggest a character for that, and I'll
add it to the proposal.

I'll wait until at least the end of today before posting any proposal.
