I disagree. I think this is a bug in all these lexers, and we should
fix it.
\<ret> is the only special case that says "ignore both". In any other
case \<c> should translate into just the character <c>.
This \<whitespace> special case "it is an errors that a few people
will make, so fail when we encounter it" stuff is paranoid balony that
just causes more harm.
It's also confusing, since a \n _is_ whitespace.
Good for you, Theo. OpenBSD gets better day by day etc etc blah
