I had at least one such experience. When I wrote a CROSS compiler (or rather, a cross preprocessor, that translates some language with Prolog-like syntax to another) several years ago, it was quite nasty that 0'x could not be distinguished from 120 once read in. On the target machine that uses different character codes, 120 should mean 120 but 0'x shouldn't. Takashi Chikayama
