Nope again, this time from bug 3885:
Strange as it may seem, the behavior is correct, and mandated by the C
Standard.  0x00E-0x00A is a single preprocessor token, of type
pp-number, and it must become a single compiler token, but it can't.
The gotcha is the `E-' sequence, that makes it seem like the exponent
notation of floating-point constants.

Looks like this is a common misunderstood part of C.

Thanks,
