I prefer to just code something like:

But, of course, you need to watch for length attributes
if you move or print or otherwise manipulate this; that
is L'PrintLine will not include the one byte for the x'15'.
Grrr! The all-or-nothing treatment of hex should be regarded
as a design shortcoming.
I suspect John G. would advocate inventing a function so one
might code:
PrintLine DC ESCAPE('This line is printed to "stdout".\x15')
Or even:
PrintLine DC ESCAPE('This line is printed to "stdout".\n')
If such a function could be coded, could it be used as an argument
to DC in this fashion?
