Unfortunate if pc is in fact taken. Perhaps pconv - this is the type of
thing that really wants to be as short as possible.

If not pc, perhaps ac (arch escape conversion), aec, tc, or something
similarly short. It's the kind of thing where a naming convention should
have been decided on years ago, where perhaps the first letter is always
"c" (for convert) the second "e" for escape, and the third specific to
the app. Perhaps we can start such a convention. cea|cae?
