I think that this is an interesting idea, but did you see my comment on
[PHOENIX-2238](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2238)? There is
support built in to the shell which allows you to supply non-printable
characters.
I can see how this might be more user-friendly for some, while being
confusing for others (who are already familiar with the standard method of
providing non-printable characters on the command line).
Another concern that I have is that providing these kinds of literals that
start with backslashes also require some understanding about the rules of
escaping when supplying command line parameters, so this kind of makes me think
that it might be better to go completely for expecting users to know how to
work with the shell properly.
What do you think?
