I tested 0 and got a nul character so that might also depend on other
issues (Lua can handle them in most cases unless it gets fed into som ec
helper that sees nul as end-of-string and there is nothing we can do
about that: 0 = 0 ... no funny ^^ stuff in the escape).
With `\escapechar=0` it is not possible to get the nul byte in the
string like the other positive values?
imo it should be, although one can never be sure if the receiving end is
8 bit clean or sees <nul> as something special
