How about this idea: have an option to strtrans() to convert *all*
keys to their <> format. This way the output can be easily and
portably stored, and later translated back using the "\<>" evaluation.
" 'l' option = long format
" 'e' option = 'eval'able format
"
let s =
"\\\,\,\,\,\\"

The doc page really only talks about regular control chars, leaving
the problem of special keys to the imagination. Are they to be
considered a string of characters which are to be evaluated
individually against 'isprint', or are they a meta-character which is
to be evaluated against 'isprint'?

That already worked. You apparently have wrong expectations of what
strtrans() does. The docs say: "like they are shown in a window". Thus
special keys must not be translated back
