naive fix to echo -n -e
The "echo" builtin has an (undocumented) escape sequence expansion feature,
called for by the '-e' flag. Unfortunately that collides with the (documented)
'-n' flag, as the builtin only checks the first flag on the command line.
The patch adds a naive fix to this, making this snippet DTRT:
echo -n -e '\a'
A proper fix should probably employ getopt.
