I think escape-glyph is ok.
There is nothing wrong with embedded control codes, so "warning"
would be worse.
Yes. Indeed, "warning" would be misleading.
In my .emacs file, I use an escape glyph, control-L, as a page
separator. The command `C-x [' (backward-page) moves to a page
boundary. This use of an escape is what you are supposed to do.
Also, I think of control-L as one character. Not only is this a good
way of thinking, since it really is one character, but a command such
as `C-f' (forward-char) reliably acts on it as one character. It
looked weird to me to highlight only the first part of the glyph. It
was as if someone marked half of an `A'. I felt I was living in a
world of bad, 1960s pop artists, the kinds of people who would write
`TECO!' and color the halves of each letter differently.
Moreover, with my background color, dodgerblue4, RMS' choice of
default foreground, cyan, is excellent.
