Great.

We have ?\s (presumably because people found ? too annoyingly
fragile). Thinking about it a bit more, I think it would be kinda nice
to have a literal syntax for all Unicode characters. Something like...
er... ?\ucLEFT-TO-RIGHT-OVERRIDE and \?ucPILE-OF-POO? We have that
table already, so perhaps that's feasible?
But it's, of course, more important for the control characters, because
they're just incomprehensible if you just ?💩 them...

Hm... perhaps it's good to (vaguely) show that they're there? I'm not
sure.
