[sv-ec] Mantis 1789 - references for example

We started to discuss mantis item 1789 in the sv-ec this morning. Below are
a couple of references from draft 2 that I was trying to get at in the meeting.
I believe that these references confirm that the example in the proposal for
1789 is valid.

   string s1 = "hello\0world"; // sets s1 to "helloworld"


- Is \0 allowed in a string literal?

  See sub-clause 5.9.1 Special characters in strings, table 5-1
  The \0 is allowed.

- The \0 is ignored when assigned to a string

  See sub-clause 7.6.

  "A string shall not contain the special character "\0". Assigning the value
   0 to a string character shall be ignored."
