And, as per my previous comment, wrong, for example, assuming
you accept the brackets notation used for example in the ACATS
tests, you should accept '["0041"]' as equivalent to 'A'.

I strongly suggest reading scn.adb from the GNAT sources when
you have questions about lexical scanning, it is easy reading!
