    sh: Add $'quoting' (C-style escape sequences).
    
    A string between $' and ' may contain backslash escape sequences similar
    to the ones in a C string constant (except that a single-quote must be
    escaped and a double-quote need not be). Details are in the sh(1) man
    page.
    
    This construct is useful to include unprintable characters, tabs and
    newlines in strings; while this can be done with a command substitution
    containing a printf command, that needs ugly workarounds if the result
    is to end with a newline as command substitution removes all trailing
    newlines.
    
    The construct may also be useful in future to describe unprintable
    characters without needing to write those characters themselves in 'set
    -x', 'export -p' and the like.
    
    The implementation attempts to comply to the proposal for the next issue
    of the POSIX specification. Because this construct is not in
    POSIX.1-2008, using it in scripts intended to be portable is unwise.
    
    Matching the minimal locale support in the rest of sh, the \u and \U
    sequences are currently not useful.
