That said, I think *technically* the manual says that "\x" is allowed:

You can use any number of hex digits, so you can represent any
character code in this way.

Zero is a number, after all. :) Maybe the manual needs an update to be
more-precise here?

I'd say that'd be a pedantic interpretation of the text, but I've
reworded it to avoid such misinterpretation anyway.

Oh, it's very pedantic, I agree. I'm not sure anyone would have misinterpreted that text in practice, but I think this makes it 100% clear what syntax is acceptable. Thanks for the fix.
