While I agree that regexp are less usable than commonly attributed, I still thinks that #x...x where x is a special character is a rather elegant solution.

Possibly the only reason Pike doesn't alredy have such a syntax is that I think regexps are horrible and I consistently refused to make special hacks in the lexer/parser for the purpose of making regexp usage easier.
I still think regexps are horrible, but it's not really up to me anymore. :)
