Still leaves unmentioned that there was already an established Unicode
escape syntax. PCRE provides \x{1F520} for codepoints in conjunction to
plain \xFF for byte escapes.
Maybe there should be more elaboration on why PHP itself should go with
the \u{xxxx} ECMAScript representaton, thus introducing a syntax disparity
with our most major string handling extension.
