est - String with escaped characters

Module Description

The est module implements a string with escaped characters. The code is inspired by the proposal for escaped strings by Stephen Pelc and Peter Knaggs. The following conversion characters are translated:

\a  - bel = ascii 7
\b  - backspace = ascii 8
\e  - escape = ascii 27
\f  - formfeed = ascii 12
\l  - linefeed = ascii 10
\m  - cr/lf = ascii 13,10
\n  - new line
\q  - quote = ascii 34
\r  - cr = ascii 13
\t  - ht = ascii 9
\v  - vt = ascii 11
\z  - nul = ascii 0
\"  - quote = ascii 34
xhh - hex digit
\\  - backslash
