{{{
Prelude> "Hel\x6c000000000000000 World"
<interactive>:1:7: lexical error in string/character literal at character
'c'
Prelude> "Hel\x6c0000000000000000 World"
"Hel\NUL World"
}}}
Two bugs really: the first error message gives a strange location, and the
second example is probably the result of an overflow somewhere.
