Actually, that patch didn't put the suggested 'x' in after the '\'.
After trying this a bit, I now think it would read better to use 3-digit
octal escaping.  That would turn a \n into \012 instead of \x0a, for
instance.  The changes to the prior patch are as easy as increasing the
'3's to '4's, changing the sprintf() format to "\\%03o", and fixing the
function comment.
