Tim,
I am not quite sure where did that amp came from in test-2.
it wasn't in my original test suite.
in test-3, grave accent is not a punctuation mark - so far i know.

For some reason, according to Matlab function isstrprop, the characters $ + < = > ^ ` | ~ are not considered to be punctuation marks, or letters, or digits, or anything else--this seems to be discriminatory and unjust.

This problem has an interesting take on punctuation characters.
