    No.  There is no escaping whatsoever, nor is there a delimiter.  The 4
    before the H is a character count.  And H stands for "Hollerith code",
    the punch card predecessor of "ASCII code".

Another advantage of 4H^.*\n is that you can join the 4H club.

However, it won't fit in Emacs Lisp, because it can't be parsed
backwards.
