I agree. `escape-glyph' is designed for a different use. Its intended use is
given by its doc string, and it is very precise and clear:
"Face for characters displayed as sequences using `^' or `\'.
In my case, I customize `escape-glyph' to be something very noticeable (orange
background, with blue foreground and 1-pixel blue box). I want to see something
like ^G really stand out. I don't want to see non-ascii chars handled the same
way.
It is a too-common mistake, IMO, to try too hard to reuse existing faces. It
complicates use (including customization) of those faces if they end up
signifying a collection of disparate things.
We should have the reflex, when tempted to reuse a face, to think twice. In
general, just say no to such y-a-qu'a impulses. ;-)
