In case this is useful to jog memories in future...

I think the difference is that metafy() is operating on something
completely raw, so we can't rely on any octet having any special
internal meaning.  tokenize(), on the other hand, always operates
on an already metafied string, hence we at least have the assurance that
anything stuck behind a Meta marker is special and can be left alone.
