I am opposed to \e unless the spec insists on ISO/ASCII character
set, since not every character set has a suitable character for \e.
I am not all that happy with the new \a "alarm" character either.
Adjacent string concatenation is very useful in getting what one
wants out of preprocessor macros. (See example I sent to INFO-C.)

Once more is time to explain how mod.std.c is forwarded from USENET to
ARPA.
USENET
------ ARPANET

mod.std.c ------->-----| |

We arranged the above to save the time of creating a new ARPA list
for ANSI C. So, if you are a reader in ARPA, please submit your
ANSI C related contributions to cbosgd!std-c@Berkeley.ARPA, it
will get to INFO-C. Plese do so in consideration to USENET, at least.
