Str.strescape

Escapes the special characters '\b', '\f', '\n', '\r', '\t', '\v', '\' and '"' in the string @source by inserting a '\' before them. Additionally all characters in the range 0x01-0x1F (everything below SPACE) and in the range 0x7F-0xFF (all non-ASCII chars) are replaced with a '\' followed by their octal representation. Characters supplied in @exceptions are not escaped.

g_strcompress() does the reverse conversion.
