+ \note{Versions of this module before 2.2.3 and 2.3 are very limited to a
+ subset of the ASCII character set for passwords.  Starting with 2.2.3 and
+ 2.3, ASCII punctuation is allowed in passwords.  However, note that spaces
+ and non-printable characters are not allowed in passwords.  This is a
+ limitation of the way the .netrc file is parsed and should be removed in the
+ future.}
