Note that the verb isn't always the same and what verb is chosen helps someone
understand what the server will do.

show_parser_stats is going to "show" something.
add_missing_from  is going to "add" something.

So what will standards_compliant_strings make the server *do*? 

It's going to ignore backslash escapes. Perhaps the option should be something
like "interpret_nonstandard_string_escapes" or something like that. 

I actually don't really like "interpret" but I can't think of anything else at
the moment.
