So, I still have some reservations about this syntax.

It occurred to me: do you actually need to intermix character and
hexbyte values that much?  Could I suggest an alternate sytax as:

	property = 'a', [2b], 'r';

The new character literals sufficiently distinct not to cause problems
here, and it maintains the , == bytestring append behaviour we already
have.

Thoughts?
