/*
 * Parse a ^C style character specification.
 * Returns NULL in `next' if we didn't recognise it as a control character,
 * in which case `c' should be ignored.
 * The precise current parsing is an oddity inherited from the terminal
 * answerback-string parsing code. All sequences start with ^; all except
 * ^<123> are two characters. The ones that are worth keeping are probably:
 *   ^?             127
 *   ^@A-Z[\]^_     0-31
 *   a-z            1-26
 *   <num>          specified by number (decimal, 0octal, 0xHEX)
 *   ~              ^ escape
