Is there some way to make VIM display non-ASCII characters as
something distinguishable.  Like octal or hex or even the way that
"cat -v" does?

I know, ":1G!Gcat -v"

But a reversible way, similar to "set list", "set nolist" would be
nice.  I have not found it in some reading of Steve Oualline's _Vi
IMproved_ book.

The use for this is cleaning up text files that were created by
programs that insert non-ASCII characters for apostrophes and quotes
etc.
