Uhhh.  What I meant to ask that "was it intentional to use the
\N{U+...} syntax, since currently there is no such syntax".  I blame
low caffeine levels.

That being said, there is now such a thing.  Or will be as soon
as I check in the change.

If you wanted to used \N{}, there's charnames::viacode()

$ ./perl -Ilib -Mcharnames=:full -le 'print "\\N{", charnames::viacode(0x263a), "}"'
\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}
$ 

though for unnamed ones I think I have to do something (like use \N{U+}):

$ ./perl -Ilib -Mcharnames=:full -le 'print "\\N{", charnames::viacode(0x3040), "}"'
\N{}
$

Thanks, upgraded.

A bit of noise from ext/PerlIO/t/fallback.t:

../perl -Ilib ext/PerlIO/t/fallback.t
1..8
ok 1 - opened iso-8859-1 file
"\N{U+20ac}" does not map to iso-8859-1 at ext/PerlIO/t/fallback.t line 21.
ok 2 - perlqq escapes
ok 3 - opened iso-8859-1 file
ok 4 - HTML escapes
ok 5 - Opened as ASCII
# 5c
ok 6 - Escaped non-mapped char
ok 7 - Opened as ASCII
# fffd
ok 8 - Unicode replacement char

Also, is it intentional that there is no \N{U+} syntax...?
That was planned at some point but as of there is no such thing:

../perl -Ilib -Ilib -Mcharnames=:full -e '"\N{U+20ac}"'
Unknown charname 'U+20ac' at lib/unicore/Name.pl line 1

Why not just use \x{...}?  If that's PERLQQ, that's what
I would expect?
