What are control words for? (sorry, didn't check out the specification :) )
The current code of the import routine simply expected two hex digits and a
space after the \', but, judging by the implementation, there is supposed to
be support for strings of hex pairs ended by a space, also (are these the
control words?).
If so, would the best solution be adding another type to InternalStateTypes,
so that the remaining space could be properly skipped or not (apparently, in
the current implementation there are no occasions where it would be required
to skip -- but when control words were added, support for them would be
already done).
