I forgot to ask one more practical question. The prompt prefix and suffix will contain non-printable chars, \0x02 (ctrl-b) and \0x05 (ctrl-e). How can I include them in a boot string? Is literal embedding of these bytes inside a string enough? (in emacs, ctrl-q ctrl-something inserts the literal ctrl-something byte at the cursor position). Should it be prefixed by _ ? In common lisp this method works: any strange byte within a string will be printed, when the string is printed (I used this in the maxima source for communication with TeXmacs).
