Having said that, are we sure that

	printf "add bar\0initial"

works per specification, or merely works by accident in some
implementation?

Since the backslash is not followed by $ ` " \ <newline> it is not
special to the shell.

Yeah, but I wasn't worried about what shell does in the first place. I was
worried about what printf(1) does.

Oh, I was confused becaused you mentioned the C case where the \NNN
interpretation is done by the compiler, not printf(3).
