echo ^C

[Freddy Vulto]

Within the bash-completion testsuite, we're trying to synchronize in
between test cases using the string "^C", output by bash on receiving a
SIGINT.
This works fine for bash >= 4 (typing ^C is echoed as "^C"), but on
bash-3 typing ^C is echoed as a newline.  Is there a setting to make
bash-3 echo "^C" then typing ^C, just like bash-4?
