If only 1 is > true, then it's likely worth a warning. I implemented this solution in b4 master, so it should error out only when it finds control characters without any "other letter" unicode character category present in the same line (where Hebrew, Arabic, etc live). There's probably still a way to take advantage of this, but hopefully it's a lot less trivial now and less likely to go unnoticed by the reviewer. The error message will point where it found the problem: WARNING: Message contains suspicious unicode control characters!

One can rerun with --allow-unicode-control-chars to override this. -K
