lol, you're right. Let's drop it. Perfect.

The control character procedures can be control->graphic and
graphic->control, which is standard terminology.

I've sometimes used "horz-white" but that's also obscure. "horz-space"
would be even more obscure.

Instead of `ascii-space-or-tab?` it could be `ascii-space/tab?`.

I read the new commits. Are you referring to the problem with which
version of Unicode to follow?
