Huh? In that case, somebody should tell Angel Faus; Numeric literals,
take 3 says 0c777, and nobody disented. IIRC, in fact, nobody's
descented to 0c777 since it was first suggested.
Well, except Larry. I
It's o, not c.

We still need to verify whether we can have, in qq strings:
\033 - octal (p5; deprecated but allowed in p6?)
\o33 - octal (p5)
\x1b - hex (p5)
\d123 - decimal (?)
\b1001- binary (?)
and if so, if these are allowed too:

Note that \b conflicts with backspace. I'd rather keep backspace than
binary, personally; I have yet to feel the need to call out a char in
binary. :-) Or we can make it dependent on the trailing digits, or
require the brackets, or require backspace

Can't, unless we change \d to digit in regexen.
Which we ought to be very wary of, given how very frequently it's
used in regexes.

\x and \o are then just shortcuts.

The general form could be
\0o[33] - octal
\0x[1b] -
I think that solves all the problems we're having. We change \c to
have more flexible meanings, with \0o, \0x, \0d, \0b, \o, \x as
shortcuts. Boom, we're done. Thanks!
How far can we go with this \c thing? How about:
print \c[72, 101, 108, 108, 111];
will that print Hello?

By popular request. If we have something we think will be even

I've lately been going a lot of greps in which I want to keep all the

I like it.
But reading it reminded me of another common thing I do
with grep: partitioning a list into equivalence classes.

While purge is cute, it certainly is not obvious what it does. Of
course neither is grep unless you are an aging unix guru...
How about something which
