I.e. "\xa0" is treated as a string that contains the \xa0 byte (i.e. an eight-bit-* (aka raw-byte) char) rather than the \xa0 char (a latin-1 non-breaking space). 1. Is that the right thing for \xa0 in a string to mean? Or should it mean the character with code xa0? 2. I find it hard to think about that question since I don't see any documentation explaining how this ought to work. That documentation is essential.
