That is so. However, there has only ever been one practical set of uses
for #x80 through #x9F (as distinct from the hex bytes 80 through 9F as used
in various encodings). For example, #9A represents CONTROL SEQUENCE INTRODUCER,
and is the 8-bit equivalent of the "ESC [" used in X3.64 (aka "ANSI")
terminal controls.
