Summary: Hex and octal string values not completely specified

The spec implies that a string literal containing hex and octal values is
assembled in UTF-8, but doesn't say so explicitly. The text says that hex and
octal values can be used to build binary data. If you have something like:
dstring ds = "\U00101234\x7f"d
what are the actual bytes in the string ds? Without defining explicitly, it
allows for
00 10 12 34 7f 00 00 00
on a big-endian machine as opposed to the probably intended
00 10 12 34 00 00 00 7f
