Text representation of control characters?

Hello world,

Looking in style/charNames.h, I see that \space; is a text
representation for &#x0020;, but there appear to be no text
representations for control characters below space.

This means I have to resort to things like this:

(let ((newline #\
))

which is really ugly.  Is there a better way?

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
