Interesting. I wonder why the standard deeemd it necessary to provide an escape sequence for the question mark ? I do happen to have question marks in my strings, but didn't know about the escape sequence so didn't use it, yet the compiler didn't complain, and simply put the question mark ASCII code in the string, as I expected. I understand they phrased it to mean a "possibility", not an obligation, but why provide it if they didn't think there were at least one use case where it would be mandatory ?
