Hmmm.  I do most of my actual processing in awk, and I suppose I could
always expand simple escapes; however I'm not really sure what to do
some of the escape sequences tla uses; for instance:

   $ tla escape "`echo -e 'hello\377world'`"
   hello\(U+FF)world

Does this mean that there can be "\(U" escapes with values greater than 255?

No clue what to do in that case...
