Ah, yes - didn't even think about the character sets.  If thats the case then
octal needs attention as well because it makes a similar assumption.  Peter
Eisentraut commented that this should be in the string literal parser.
Should this be the case? and if so should i migrate both octal and hex to
this parser?
