In the process of learning to scan C (for a compiler theory class), I 
first heard about those.  Seems not-too-useful.  If you want a number, 
input the number; if you want a Unicode character, enter L'那' (or 
whatever the D equivalent is).  Entering numbers in base 256 is asking 
for trouble, especially with UTF-8 source.
