+ \note{Passwords are limited to a subset of the ASCII character set.
+ Versions of this module prior to 2.2.3 were extremely limited.  Starting
+ with 2.2.3, all ASCII punctuation is allowed in passwords.  However, note
+ that whitespace and non-printable characters are not allowed in passwords.
+ This is a limitation of the way the .netrc file is parsed and may be removed
+ in the future.}
