Octal escape:
    \ooo        Character with octal value ooo
    As in Standard C, up to three octal digits are accepted.

It only accepts UCS1 characters (ooo <= 0o377):
    >>> ord('\377')
    255
    >>> len('\378')
    2
    >>> '\378' == '\37' + '8'
    True

IMHO this is not useful, and creates confusions.
Maybe it can be deprecated in language level.
