I would rather it doesn't have a name, especially not one that makes it
look like it behaves like multi character literals, which it doesn't (not
an int, value computed differently). As such I would like it if core would
consider keeping the above sentence below the table ( same thing for what
tom calls conditional characters literals - both of them).
Giving names to things tends to make them feel more important or intended,
which I think we should avoid in this case.
