Addresses #46 and #47.

Escapes in symbols are interpreted when parsing. For example, "\\" will be interpreted as a single backslash.
Nonprinting characters such as spaces and control characters are displayed with a different style.
The space placeholder is now ␣ "OPEN BOX".
Nonprinting characters that are usually escaped with a C-style escape are displayed in that form. For example, \n.
