Indeed, it seems to me that concatenating such sequences *is* in itself
a higher-level protocol.  After all, it isn't  "plain text" anymore when
you have to suppress printing out some of it.  And we already have other
higher-level protocols that can do the job about as efficiently.  So at
least this particular application would be a solution to a problem
that's already been solved.
