#\U<hex> syntax

Hi Bruno,

My question is inspired by https://stackoverflow.com/q/50413748/850781.

CLISP supports the #\U<hex> read syntax for Unicode characters but does
not advertise it (instead, the official syntax is #\Code<decimal>).

Also, the <hex> _must_ be 5 or 9 characters long (padded with 0s if
necessary), and the syntax is implemented as if it were a character name
lookup.

I wonder if you think it might be a good idea to
1. Relax the 5/9 length requirement
2. Advertise the syntax in
https://clisp.sourceforge.io/impnotes/sharpsign.html#sharpsign-backslash

Thanks.
