+* unescape: NUL ('\0') escapes should be supported. This is especially
+  needed for tr, so that NUL-separated values can be palatable to the
+  other utilities. This would also require some rewrite of the places
+  where unescape() is used. In particular, utflen cannot be used as-is,
+  after unescape().
