Including the (correct) ASCII table has been a long term, low priority -
I am using ascii(1) utility reasonably often and it makes sense to
reproduce this functionality.

And when implementing this, it was a no-brainer to include also the
brexit varian (verbatim). After all, given the blood and sweat and tears
shed during the negotiations, I am sure each and every line of the
Agreement has been combed and (re)negotiated over and over by experienced
negotiators and verified an army of experts in the fields <sarcasm off/>
