NO! That's wrong. Or more accurately, that would be a nasty
restriction. You definitely want to be able to edit texts
using their underlying representation, e.g. seeing ["0041"]
as those 8 characters, rather than as an upper case A.

Incidentally, a bug report was filed internally for Ada mode
in EMACS, since indeed it does not handle this case correctly
:-)
