I think we should get some escape coding which translates dangerous symbolsto safe ones, like it done in SLIP protocol.
For example, sequence of "`" (grave) character followed by character with code n, should be treated as character code (n^0x20). So symbols get these escape codes: '\n' -> '`J', '"' -> '`b', '#' -> '`c', '`' -> '` ' etc.
