I want to escape *only control characters* not all multi byte characters.

Of course Cyrillic text is not using bidi but it is still affected by
print-escape-multibyte. If I have a debugging UI I want it to work with
all kinds of languages, rtl and ltr. Multi-byte and single-byte.

This is not good enough, I want to produce strings which can be copied
to the source and presented in the UI in the same form. I argue that
this is not an unreasonable requirement.

I am only taking about prin1. The issue is about prin1. My goal is to
produce safely escaped string representations of Elisp values, including
strings and other values.

Yes. Maybe someone else can chime in with their opinion.
