Some C escape sequences are not supported in Janet strings, namely:

  • \'
  • \?
  • \a
  • \b

Full list at https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/escape.
Supporting them could be useful to copy-paste strings from other languages (and I need \b).

You probably already know this, but you can use \x08 instead of \b if you need it right now in Janet.

We don't really need things like \? and \' but I suppose they don't hurt for copy pasting.
