Does this work with printf? and if so, syntax example? Would like to use it with printfs column printing facilities.

@danielloader You can just use it on the first printf string since it escapes chars by default.

I have made something a bit different that supports each setting by itself and runs even on busybox/ash:

The script also prints examples for all vars defined.
(there is a commented line with a printf example there as well)
