It appears that neither llvm-mc nor gnu as support quoted identifier properly.
Gnu as allows  a quoted string in, for example, .globl directive. Llvm-mc does too, but it forgets to unescape it, so, say, "\n" turns into a 2-character string when saves as textual asm and read back.

Neither support quoted strings in expressions we need to declare aliases, like
  "\n" = .jumptable + 4.

I think I'll just make it a fatal error to apply cfi-icall to any name that requires escaping.
