+PEP: 223
+Title: Change the Meaning of \x Escapes
+Version: $Revision$

+Abstract
+
+    Change \x escapes, in both 8-bit and Unicode strings, to consume
+    exactly the two hex digits following.  The proposal views this as
+    correcting an original design flaw, leading to clearer expression
+    in all flavors of string, a cleaner Unicode story, better
+    compatibility with Perl regular expressions, and with minimal risk
+    to existing code.
