Just taking something out without understanding what it was doing in
the first place is not going to make you a great coder.
When DG looks at a name, it checks the first character to see if it is
the UID_CHAR and, if it is, what follows is the ID of the character (or
object), instead of the whole thing being the name. Thus, the UID_CHAR
must be something that is not a part of a name. I've suggested, for no
specific reason, that windows users replace this with '\005' (and, I admit,
I've no idea what character \e resolves to.
