Description
On the Lexical Scanner section of the documentation on the Selectors Level 3, the lexer defines V as:
V v|\\0{0,4}(58|78)(\r\n|[ \t\r\n\f])?|\\v
I'm wondering why it uses 58 or 78. Based on the other items, this is to specify the character in its hexadecimal form, but the hexadecimal form of the ASCII V is 0x56 (or 0x76 for lowercase), not 0x58 (this is the ASCII code for X). Therefore shouldn't V be defined as:
V v|\\0{0,4}(56|76)(\r\n|[ \t\r\n\f])?|\\v
or am I missing something?
