Frankly, from the description it's not clear to me what this is
supposed to do.  What is the string, what is the mask and what does
the mask do?  Apparently there are operations available on masks but
how do I apply a mask - and what to?  And what's the result of
applying a mask to something?  What does escaping do?

Cheers
