+- `Info()` escapes control characters in box types as `\xNN`, so a type such
+  as the four zero bytes of the QuickTime wave terminator atom stays visible
 - audio sample entries whose reserved bytes claim a QuickTime version whose
   layout does not parse fall back to the plain ISO interpretation, so
   previously decodable files keep decoding; the overlaid QuickTime bytes
