even though Option isn't marked #[must_use], it might be nice to do let _ = input.next()

though maybe clippy complains because it's technically not necessary, I always like it cause it's clear we don't care (instead of the unwrap above, which I guess could be the same let _ =

Funny behaviour in GNU:
Even though the octal code for
Ais\0101. The reason that happens is because 3 octal digits is equivalent to a 9 bit integer.This is possibly a bug in GNU that nobody has fixed in 31 years or they just chose to ignore it since it is fairly minor. I was investigating this with @jdonszelmann and we found that GNU and the built-in
echofor zsh and fish both also have this wrapping behaviour. Though it's not really a problem because it is all done usingunsignedintegers. In this PR, I've made sure to use thewrapping_*methods for arithmetic to further avoid any problems.Some other utilities might need to be checked too. For instance
printf:I noticed this while I was refactoring
print_escaped, which is why that function is changed too.
