Sad to say, my personal lexer read SOH as ^A (dining
too much at the ASCII table, are we?). Googling turned
up all sorts of possible acronyms:
Start of Header
Single Origin Hypothesis
Stock on Hand
Society of Homeopaths
Significant Other Half
Sine == Opposite / Hypotenuse

think these days. For stuff like this, it's often
more entertaining!
