Proposal to address I18N-ISSUE-187: escape syntax [TURTLE]
==========================================================
Issues:
* No mention is made of surrogate pair handling in \u escape syntax.
* It's not clear why the \U form should take eight hex digits when the
first two are required to be 0.
Rational: The trend in escape syntaxes seems to be going towards the
variable-width form "\u{xxxxx}".
Proposed Solution from I18N WG: Adopt \u{xxxxx} syntax for escapes.
Objections:
* \u and \U escape syntax is widely used. In C, C++, C#, Python, etc.
* There is a well-established escaping syntax in TURTLE
* SPARQL uses \u \U already
PROPOSAL: Turtle will continue to use \u \U escape syntax.
