Ah, but the documentation _does_ say that; you just have to look at the
context:
-- Request: .hcode c1 code1 [c2 code2] ...
Set the hyphenation code of character C1 to CODE1, that of C2 to
CODE2, and so on. A hyphenation code must be an ordinary character
(not a special character escape sequence)
Here, the odd-numbered arguments are "characters" and the even-numbered ones
"codes." It may not be written as _clearly_ as it could be, but it is
accurate to how the arguments are defined: the "not a special character"
parenthetical applies only to codes, the even-numbered arguments.
I do note that one thing missing from the description is that the spaces
between arguments are optional, which the ps.tmac example demonstrates.
