Anon #8 gives no proof, and hardly an explanation, but his solution sounds very close to the truth, perhaps exactly the truth. Using the special markers A and B is similar to the need to send an end-of-file marker or an escape symbol when compressing.
If I had to guess, then #8 is either a compression person, or Mihai Patrascu. The arrogant style fits Mihai just fine, as well.
