Now _that_ is clearly the important one, probably sufficiently
so to make an exception to my principle that we should not start
enumerating protocols that might or might not need escapes and
might or might not use encoded UTF-8.

On the other hand, perhaps it is time to start working on
RFC2324bis to permit it to accept other escape characters and to
fully generalize its device control interface formats.

Thanks.  I needed that.
