I'd never even heard of code point labels before this thread, while the "U+" notation is incredibly common.<snip>The original proposal was to allow \U+NNNN escape as a shortcut for \U0000NNNN. This is a clear readability improvement while \N{U+001B}, for example, is not an improvement over \N{ESCAPE}. However, for more obscure control characters, \N{control-NNNN} may be clearer than any currently available spelling. For example, \N{control-001E} is easier to understand than \036, \x1e, \u001E, \N{RS} or even the most verbose \N{INFORMATION SEPARATOR TWO}.
