Hey. Just a heads up in case this hasn't been noticed yet, dollar-single- quotes $'...' will be part of the next POSIX (issue 8). Are there any plans to add support for these? Guess it would be quite helpful, for all the cases where right now it's rather cumbersome to write e.g. literal \n or \t. AFAICS, supporting ISO C's \u… and \U… was left out as optional, so I guess dash wouldn't need nay locale/Unicode support for that. Cheers, Chris.
