Nothing specific, but one can embed any other literal character, so
why not those?

Ah, so "start of header/text" is your phrasing, not theirs.

In that case I think the patch is incomplete, because it's not keeping
track of bv->dontcount and will be confused if both \001 and %} are
used (or %{ and \002).  See lines 602 through 628 of Src/prompt.c
(line numbers as of commit c5a891a2).
