While fixing the very annoying omission of the \t wildcard/regex for
replacement strings against some Find results (<a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - Find & Replace - the \t wildcard is not parsed as a replacement string for some Find instances"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=102374">bug 102374</a>), could we also
handle the \u, \U flavors as well?
Rather than picking from the Special Character dialog, direct entry by Unicode
point would be very appealing. Maybe even provide for the U+hhhhh notation we
use with the <Alt>+X Unicode toggle?</pre>
