Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking about doing (now).

I don't feel like writing another email just to reply to the proper
thread about this, but I just made the change so (eqv? #\U+0001
#\ctl-a) => #t, but should it be #\ctl-A or both or should we just
make the table lookup case insensitive so that #\ctl-a == #\ctl-A ==
#\CTL-A (and consequently #\newline == #\NEWLINE etc)?
