If you want to send a string "C-a" to a pane, you have to do
send-keys C - a
...or something similar; but certainly not "C-a", because that would be
looked up as a key name. While scripting, you probably don't want to
bother whether or not a string also names a key or not.
This adds a flag, that forces a given string to be send to a pane
literally (hence `-l'):
send-keys -l C-a
