+Patch 7.4.739
+Problem:    In a string "\U" only takes 4 digits, while after CTRL-V U eight
+            digits can be used.
+Solution:   Make "\U" also take eight digits. (Christian Brabandt)

+not only since XXX as a sex reference would grab everybody's attention but
+simply due to the fact that Vim would highlight these words.
