I considered adding the single quote <'> as separator to my debugger's
expression evaluator (besides the NASM style underscore <_>) but it
clashed with its usage as quote for strings. (Could have overloaded it
inside digit sequences, but the syntax is too kludgy already anyway.) The
weird other quotes <`> and <´> are too difficult to type (at least on
German keyboard layouts) so I haven't considered using those yet.

It was a trick question, there's no ASCII code of €. And in any case, I'd
prefer to specify its code as U+20AC instead of as weird Alt+numpad
sequences.

I feel like DIR should sort by the binary values of the date anyway, not
the string representations.
