I wasn't aware of that paragraph in the report until recently, and as far as I know none of the current Haskell implementations implement the '\uhhhh' escape sequences.
One reason to use this approach would be if there already existed a preprocessor to do the job - does anyone know of one? If not, I think the paragraph could be deleted in favour of using appropriate encodings for source files (I'd planned to implement at least UTF-8 in GHC at some point).
This means that internally GHC will treat or represent 'Char' as 32-bit integer ? -- Nobuo Yamashita mailto:nobusun@timedia.co.jp
