+The regular expression bracketed character class C<[\8\9]> was
+effectively the same as C<[89\000]>, incorrectly matching a NULL character.
+It also gave incorrect warnings that the C<8> and C<9> were ignored.
+Now C<[\8\9]> is the same as C<[89]> and gives legitimate warnings that
+C<\8> and C<\9> are unrecognized escape sequences, passed-through.
