I agree that this improves the situation. Given how long the defect has been in
place, it seems that passwords and usernames that start or end with a
circumflex are at most very rare.

I do think the proposed use of ^^^@ and ^^^~ as replacement means to specify
the separator and quote a circumflex, respectively, could work, but agree the
syntax is rather unwieldy.

Hmm ... on reflection, probably the only way to address the issue completely is
to introduce AUTH PLAIN2 (or similar).
