Procedure kit for dealing with escape sequences in Icon character
string representations.  Note that Icon escape sequences are
very similar to C escapes, so this works for C strings, too.

escapeseq() -- a matching procedure for Icon string escape sequences

escchar() -- produces the character value of an Icon string escape sequence

escape() -- converts a string with escape sequences (as in Icon string
            representation) to the string it represents with escape

quotedstring() -- matching routine for a quoted string.
