Is "robust" the right word when I say I think software should be
robust enough to anticipate such variations in user input and quietly
take the bits it wants.
(A pet peeve along this line is software that wants a bank-card
number or a phone number and won't allow the user to type the spaces
or hyphens or parentheses with which such long numbers are always
printed on plastic cards or on paper in order to make them
human-readable and human-checkable.)
