I know, but as long as you're picking arbitrary characters to represent
a hole or non-hole, pick two of the same size so the result looks like the
original tape on most displays. A small point, but now's the time to set
the standard.
Who knows -- it might just make the difference between some future
archeologist recognizing the purpose of the file or not.
