I suspect that optimizing for people who want to turn "0xf" into
chr(0) + "xf" isn't exactly a priority...
if that's really what you want, of course. are you sure you didn't
mean to write, say
chr(int("0xf", 0))
(that is, convert 0xf to a character) or
repr(chr(int("0xf", 0)))
(that is, convert 0xf to a character, and convert that character to a
string literal)
?
