   Now bloated to 158 bytes, to allow common Unix Escape codes (including hex:   
   \xHH); valid codes are "abefnrtv", other \c escaped chars stay "as is",   
   notably '\\' translates to '\'.   
      
   It still doesn't have [:keyword:] 'complement' 'squeeze' or delete or -help   
   for that matter.
