 How about not using a translation table?
 Or no rule matches.

 Any way, instead of putting a lot of thought into what possible misstakes
 a fool can make, a shortcut was proposed, let's not do it.

 foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

 As long a no wannabee sysop in Oz finds a modem on a flea market, the
 subject seems to be moot.

 In Dutch wel call it: "Rescueing old cows from a ditch"
