sub _meta_notation ($) {
# Returns a copy of the input string with the nonprintable characters
# below 0x100 changed into printables. Any ASCII printables or above 0xFF
# are unchanged. (XXX Probably above-Latin1 characters should be
# converted to \X{...})
#
# \0 .. \x1F (which are "\c@" .. "\c_") are changed into ^@, ^A, ^B, ...
# ^Z, ^[, ^\, ^], ^^, ^_
# \c? is changed into ^?.
#
# The above accounts for all the ASCII-range nonprintables.
#
# On ASCII platforms, the upper-Latin1-range characters are converted to
# Meta notation, so that \xC1 becomes 'M-A', \xE2 becomes 'M-b', etc.
# This is how it always has worked, so is continued that way for backwards
# compatibility. XXX Wrong, but the way it has always worked is that \x80
# .. \x9F are converted to M- followed by a literal control char. This
# probably has escaped attention due to the limited domains this code has
# been applied to. ext/SDBM_File/dbu.c does this right.
#
# On EBCDIC platforms, the upper-Latin1-range characters are converted
# into '\x{...}' Meta notation doesn't make sense on EBCDIC platforms
# because the ASCII-range printables are a mixture of upper bit set or
# not. [A-Za-Z0-9] all have the upper bit set. The underscore likely
# doesn't; and other punctuation may or may not. There's no simple
# pattern.
