No.  I'm letting the committer know everything I've checked
so that they can decide what they want to check.

I also like C.  Fewer words is better.  So long
as nothing is left unsaid fewer words make for clarity.

However, in the last hunk, "of other than" does not read well.
Instead of writing
"and the bytes of other than printable ASCII characters"
you want "and the bytes that are not printable ASCII characters".
That would be my suggestion.
