The |backslashesToHighbit
function is a simple
compiler convenience function which converts
a block of chars to a block of ints with the
corresponding ASCII values, except that
(non-backslashed) backslashes have been
dropped, and a high (0x1000) bit set on the following
characters.
The result is a convenient representation used by the Muq compilers to represent a token while remembering which characters were quoted.
If unwanted, the quote bits may be stripped out using
the |intChar function.
