\note{Versions of this module before 2.2.3 and 2.3 are very limited to a
subset of the ASCII character set for passwords. Starting with 2.2.3 and
2.3, ASCII punctuation is allowed in passwords. However, note that spaces
and non-printable characters are not allowed in passwords. This is a
limitation of the way the .netrc file is parsed and should be removed in the
future.}
