GCC 2.3.1's documentation says that '\e' stands for the ASCII character ESC.
The GNU C preprocessor agrees, but the C and C++ compilers say that you
should use '\E'; also, the C compiler warns about its use.

Given the confusion, I'd guess that this extension is so little-used that it
should be removed.  Here is a patch.

	* c-lex.c, cp-lex.c (readescape): Remove support for '\E'.
	* cexp.y (parse_escape), extend.texi: Likewise, for '\e'.
	(Note that they were inconsistent.)
