1. od: implement -a option …

   * BSD and GNU versions support -a for printing literal characters, with control character names printed
   * GNU version deliberately masks highest (8th) bit per byte, so we follow this
   * This is consistent with standards document[1] wording: "named characters from the International Reference Version (IRV) of the ISO/IEC 646:1991 standard. Only the least significant seven bits of each byte shall be used"
   * Standards document doesn't mention -a flag, but generally -a is taken to mean the same as "-t a"
   * Attempt to document the available options
