Right. But the important part (to me) that I missed is that it's not equal to ord('&'). I had assumed it was, and that somehow that value was being used to produce the '&' in the output. But the point is that the value of the local AMPERSAND is not being used, correct?

If so, how about using 0, since most people by inspection know it's not an &?
