Description

In 17.1.1, paragraph 4, bullet 1 says,

"The special character \ indicates that the character to
follow is a literal or nonprintable character (see Table 66)."

If there is a \, followed by a character not in Table 66,
such as "\a", is it interpreted just as "a" ?

I have seen this question actually discussed by implementors.

A clarification might also need to go in 2.6.3.
