Subject: Elisp lexer misreads ESC in escape sequence form
Date: Tue, 25 May 2021 23:47:11 +0300

Hello,

I found that Elisp lexer interprets Elisp escape sequence for ESC as
something different. The backtrace I got eralier (not present here)
points to line 328 in language/elisp/lexer.scm, I think get-character is
wrong.
