E, Orc-in-E, and TermL. The Orc-in-E is proof of concept, and is not
meant to rigorously conform to any Orc spec, so I think it's fine for
now. But if we did want variation between languages, we could change
BaseLexer#charConstantInternal() from private to protected and
override it in the language-specific subclasses.
