A couple of comments on the format change: Love the gain of \NNN, \xHH et al. escape sequences. Will this include locale-dependent multi-byte characters with \uHHHH and \uHHHHHHHH as well?
Leery of making "%c" == "%.1s". This behavior doesn't seem terribly useful. Also, once the transition period is over, the only way to specify a non-literal character will be via \NNN, \x or \u, yes? All of which require an octal or hex argument. What would I do if I have an eval()---whose result is decimal---and I want to convert the result to a character? --Daniel -- NAME = Daniel Richard G. ## Remember, skunks _\|/_ meef?
