These functions correspond to vis(), strvis(), and strvisx() but have an
additional argument extra, pointing to a NUL terminated list of characters.
These characters will be copied encoded or backslash-escaped into dst. These
functions are useful e. g. to remove the special meaning of certain
characters to shells.
To implement the new functions, vis underwent a major rewrite. Most functions
now use a central macro, SVIS. Performance increase ~ factor 2.
