I know that these aren't used much at the moment,
but section 3.2 of the ADL draft is wrong
because it suggests that

\uHHHH
\uHHHHHHHH

are both acceptable quotation forms for unicode
character points. However, I think that the long
form (HHHHHHHH) must have a capital U
to distinguish it. It is not possible to distinguish
the forms based on the number of H characters
because the H characters could legitimately
be part of the actual string.

For instance, to express 1000 euros I might use

\u20AC1000

which would be interpreted as an 8 digit
unicode point rather than ?1000
