This is an aside, but I must admit -- with a sense of

that the '-v' option to cat is one that I use with some regularity.
4.4BSD has the vis(1) and unvis(1) utilities which are more principled
implementations of this feature (with corresponding section 3 functions).
It's slightly annoying being on Linux without vis and having to resort to
`cat -v` like some kind of savage.
