To be clear, you're advocating for escaping tabs/newlines/etc on the kernel 
side, right?

That seems to be implied by your first paragraph, but "print the format itself 
and not what is converted" sounds like the opposite of that to me. I assume 
your meaning is "escape the format, don't print it raw", which is what Petr was 
also advocating for? :-)
