The documentation page http://dlang.org/spec/lex.html should say more about combination of hex strings and 'w'/'d' postfix. Do such strings get transformed from UTF8? If yes, what happens with invalid ones? If not, is there a way to write UTF8 in hex and have it transformed by the compiler w/o any runtime cost?

Also the information on multi-line strings should be expanded. Right now they are mentioned once and only q"..." syntax seems to support them. This would be better said explicitly.

hex strings are deprecated. only the second problem is still valid.
