Subject: Re: '% found after symbol for non-H-TICK-HEX tokens
The warning is for people who use the ' character without realizing
exactly how it will work. It does not do what most people expect,
unless they've carefully read the documentation. For example, the
string hello'there gets converted to hello116here, which is rarely
useful, and thus should generate a warning.
It's more useful like this:
.byte 'h, 0x07, '$, 0x0a
Where there would be no warning anyway.
Ports that support h' hex use it like this:
.byte H'07, H'FE, H'0A
