+/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
+ *
+ * Exercise 3-2: Write a function escape(s,t) that converts characters like
+ * newline and tab into visible escape sequences like \n and \t as it copies
+ * the string t to s. Use a switch. Write a function for the other direction
+ * as well, converting escape sequences into the real characters.
+ *
+ * Answer: Fun! Switches can be used as shorthand if-else chains.
