Right. Except for m/^#!comment/ as above, almost anything in a wordlist 
is passed as-is. There are three "characters" you can't use at all: \n, 
\r and \0. Actually in (at least) some cases I think you can 
theoretically use \r in the middle of a word but don't rely on it, at 
least not in bleeding (if you would somehow actually need \r or \n 
included in candidates, it's supported by mask mode, rules and external 
modes/filters).

BTW -stdout is your friend when you want to try stuff like that.

$ echo first >dict
$ echo >> dict
$ echo '>7fSy+N\\W=o@...' >>dict
$ cat dict
first

 >7fSy+N\\W=o@Wd&
$ ../run/john -stdout -w:dict
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status
first

 >7fSy+N\\W=o@Wd&
