Log:
  sed: attempt to learn about hex escapes (e.g. \x27)

  Somewhat predictably, software often wants to use \x27/\x24 among others =
so
  that they can decline worrying about ugly escaping, if said escaping is e=
ven
  possible. Right now, this software is using these and getting the wrong
  results, as we'll interpret those as x27 and x24 respectively. Some examp=
les
  of this, when an exp-run was ran, were science/octopus and misc/vifm.

  Go ahead and process these at all times.  We allow either one or two digi=
ts,
  and the tests account for both.  If extra digits are specified, e.g. \x27=
27,
  then the third and fourth digits are interpreted literally as one might
  expect.
