Well, that's easy enough, so I went ahead and implemented it.

You mean quoting characters?  That's not too hard either, so I
implemented that too.

These were both very simple, but I didn't test them other than to
see that they didn't break the default setting, so please let me
know if you notice problems.

If SET PRINTBACK=OFF doesn't work for html, txt, or odt in the
terminal UI, that sounds like a bug.  I've filed the following:
        http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?31561

It's expected (and documented) that these commands don't affect
GUI output, though.

Thanks for all the feedback!
