Re: inputting characters by hexadigit

[Stefan Monnier]

AFAIK, the main use of C-q is to insert a char by hitting the
corresponding key, handy when that key is bound to something else than
self-insert-command.

So by using chars ? # or \ to mean something else, we get into the
situation where the user might not know how to insert #, ?, or \ when
those keys are bound to non-self-inserting commands.  I think this is
a serious problem.
