 *
 * Deviations from posix: we parse command line options, as Linux has
 * consistently done since 1992. Posix defaults -e to on, we require -e.
 * We also honor -- to _stop_ option parsing (bash doesn't, we go with
 * consistency over compatibility here).

    usage: echo [-neE] [args...]

    Write each argument to stdout, with one space between each, followed
    by a newline.

    -n	No trailing newline
    -E	Print escape sequences literally (default)
    -e	Process the following escape sequences:
    	\\	Backslash
    	\0NNN	Octal values (1 to 3 digits)
    	\a	Alert (beep/flash)
    	\b	Backspace
    	\c	Stop output here (avoids trailing newline)
    	\f	Form feed
    	\n	Newline
    	\r	Carriage return
    	\t	Horizontal tab
    	\v	Vertical tab
    	\xHH	Hexadecimal values (1 to 2 digits)
