strcompress

Makes a copy of a string replacing C string-style escape sequences with their one byte equivalent:

• \b → U+0008 Backspace

• \f → U+000C Form Feed

• \n → U+000A Line Feed

• \r → U+000D Carriage Return

• \t → U+0009 Horizontal Tabulation

• \v → U+000B Vertical Tabulation

• \ followed by one to three octal digits → the numeric value (mod 255)

• \ followed by any other character → the character as is. For example, \\ will turn into a backslash (\) and \" into a double quote (").

func@GLib.strescape does the reverse conversion.
