Maybe the variable should be a list of the ASCII control chars that
the print string function should translate to \t etc?

Yes, I think it was a misunderstanding. And I guess the reason was my
bad proposal in the start of this where I did not distinguish between
the printed string and the actual string. So I guess it is my fault.
(I actually rather confused the regexp syntax with the printed string
syntax, of course.)
