... and \123 as \123 (four characters). This would be a nice service.  
Nevertheless, I think the ability to handle decomposed Unicode  
characters (the way file names, but not time stamp dates, are  
recorded in Mac OS X's HFS+ file system) is more valuable and  
important. One could search for such file names and file name  
completion would work.
