I would like there to be something telling me the difference between the two ASCII characters ^L and the corresponding control character. In some text buffers, it might be appropriate to have ^L displayed as, say, a horizontal line (dotted or otherwise) to indicate a page boundary - as in some word processors. Such a disply option should be just that: an option, in any case. In other kinds of buffers, where ^L does not signify a page boundary, such a display option would not be appropriate.
