Re: Feature proposal: \x## notation in strings

[Patrick Donnelly <batrick@...>]

I want to add that width two hexadecimal escape sequences is the only
sensible width as the decimal ("\XXX") escape sequence is limited to
one byte in size (8 bits, a cap of 255 in decimal). The hexadecimal
escape sequence would then also have a one byte size limit.

Finally, I am also supportive of this feature. I feel in the future
with the growing use of lpeg that it will only become more sorely
missed.
