My previous patch to warn about unknown backslash escapes was buggy, and warns on "\0" or "\177". This fixes it.
As I say in a comment, I do wonder if octal escapes are so rare today that they often indicate incorrect escaping. In my survey of some Google code, I do see things like "\1" used much more often as a regexp replacement than as an octal escape. How would you feel about an (of course suppressable) warning for non-zero octal characters? -- Martin
