Does anyone know what call would correspond to a reversal of image()?
The issue is a little nontrivial. If you write image(char) where the
ASCII code of 'char' is > 128, image(char) will produce something ugly
like \xa0 which means ASCII 160, instead of simply quoting the character
as it does all the usual chars.
I do understand why control codes like \t and \n need escape sequences,
but I don't understand why a character with ASCII code 160 should need
one. Are they worried about 7-bit systems?
