I'll just throw in a note that the current POSIX spec does not include
support for \x in the printf(1) format or in the argument to the %b format
specifier. At least for \x in the format string it appears to require that
it _not_ be interpreted, such that
printf '\x61\n'
must output
\x61

Hello tech@,
When toying with SHY I found (thanks to sthen@) that printf(1) supports
\x syntax, but if I use isxdigit(3) characters as suffix I found the
behaviour somewhat surprising: all extra characters were consumed.
Looking at our closest neighbours:
- FreeBSD: doesn't support \x
- NetBSD: L
