2.   Command Meanings

   A very simple meta-syntax is used, where most tokens represent
   previously defined items (such as IAC); angle-brackets ("") are
   used for items to be further defined; curly-braces ("{}") are used
   around optional items; ellipses represent repeated sequences of
   items; and quotes are used for literal strings.

   IAC WILL CHARSET
     The sender REQUESTS permission to, or AGREES to, use
     CHARSET option subnegotiation to choose a character set.


   IAC WON'T CHARSET
      The sender REFUSES to use CHARSET option subnegotiation
      to choose a character set.
