(**
  Ascii characters can be represented in scope char_scope as follows:
  - ["c"]   represents itself if c is a character of code < 128,
  - [""""]  is an exception: it represents the ascii character 34
            (double quote),
  - ["nnn"] represents the ascii character of decimal code nnn.

  For instance, both ["065"] and ["A"] denote the character `uppercase
  A', and both ["034"] and [""""] denote the character `double quote'.

  Notice that the ascii characters of code >= 128 do not denote
  stand-alone utf8 characters so that only the notation "nnn" is
  available for them (unless your terminal is able to represent them,
  which is typically not the case in coqide).
