Today I learned that \x13 in a string constant does not display in XCode, which makes it just freakin' wonderful to debug why that NSDictionary member wasn't showing up when I JSON encoded it and sent it to JavaScript. How the \x13 got in there is also a mystery.

Emacs file-save muscle memory? Happens to me all.the.time. It doesn't appear in show invisibles. ObjC generally gives inscrutable errors when one happens outside of a string. Swift at least tells me there's an illegal character in the file.

Probably Emacs muscle memory, 'cause I'm using Emacs to edit the JavaScript portion of this.

Oh the times I've looked at stuff in hex editor mode to find such crap, often in XML.
