Bug description

Today I had to type out some terminal escape codes, and happened to be using a source where they are listed in octal.

It would be nice to be able to write '\o033' or "Make it \o033[1mBOLD\o033[0m". (we already have octal for integers). Obviously we have to check it's in range.

Octal, yuck.

But we have it for integers, so for the sake of uniformity why not.

As for checking the range, ocamllex can do it: [0-3][0-7][0-7]
