Sorry for the late post. It's been a busy week. I believe the discussion
has progressed such that reviving this thread might not be the most
productive, but the point of trigraphs appear to have last appeared only on
this thread.

The behaviour of trigraphs is still subject to "magic" reversal in raw
strings, so a "phase 0" approach leaves the reversal as "magic".
