I know this is not strictly Cygwin-specific but it _is_ generated by the
preceding relevant recent comment in a busy thread:

Please can you tell me how to grep for an ASCII 00 (and for that matter
anything from ASCII 1B to 1F, and 7F to FF)?

(Or, I suppose in general for any of 00-FF though there's a "^A - ^Z" chunk
at the beginning and a alphanumeric chunk in the middle, that are easily
found by direct means.)
