I was under the impression that what CWH was saying is that we shouldn't
use eg, #^? but rather #\RUBOUT; not #^L but rather #\FORMFEED; etc.
That should read correctly. If there are control characters for which
#^ is now required, they should be given symbolic names so that they
can be appropriately called from #\ on either machine. This suggestion
seems reasonable to me.
