You know, it'd be interesting to find any intelligent order for
the entire extended IBM ASCII character set... The characters
seem to be organized by groups of 32's, but there are still
some very strange symbols among the accented characters, and
you can't even dream of finding some sort of organization 
inside these groups. (I wonder why they included only some
characters of the Greek alphabet etc...)
