Ah, thanks for the excellent clarification.
Returning to the original question: Would this then mean
that we don't provide a way to specify U+000A and other control
characters using a "name" inside of \c[...]?
Or (more likely) does it mean that the names we accept inside
of the \c[...] are more than just the strict
"Unicode character names" listed above--i.e., the Unicode_1_Name
field and other related aliases (whatever those might be)?
