From memory, you have to escape \ -> \\, ' -> \' and I think NULL to
\\000. I have a feeling that you need to escape all the non-printable
characters to \xxx escape codes, but I may be wrong there.

I've just looked at my code to do all this, and I'm ashamed to say I
can't really work out what it escapes. Must document better.
