>> To match raw bytes, just write them. They are not special in regexp syntax and need no escaping.

Right: the proposal has nothing to do with how raw-bytes are added into
strings or buffers.

This question is about how to write raw bytes in a string's printed
representation, which is orthogonal: we already have escape sequences
for that and Mattias doesn't propose any changes in this respect.
