I don't mind. I would simply like to make a binary more opaque to
snoopers. A binary may contain server names, registry keys,
configuration settings, etc...  Anything that's string-based could pique
someone's curiosity.

I realize it wouldn't truly secure a program to have strings be
obfuscated, but if a first-glance at the binary contains no visible
text, then the snooper may not even bother going on to the next level of
snooping.
