(** * Concrete syntax *)
(** 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). *)
