This comment should be updated, not deleted. The fact that we're overriding strLiteralGenericCC at all still deserves an explanation. Nothing has changed about that, because JSON allows neither octal nor hex escapes.

Octal escape sequences the least used form of escape sequences and hex supported almost everywhere. The only outsiders are Java (does not support
\xHHform), C++ (unlimited length, so have problems with followed digits) and Rust (limited range of representable characters -- only[0x00; 0x7f]).Seriously, who decided that using octal escape sequences by default was a good idea?
I've checked all languages and everything (except Java and Rust) are support
\xHHform.
