I see what you mean: I'll add a note that any chars not set up
explicitly will have the *current* catcode applied. (That's not quite
the same as saying the 'usual' value.)

Worth noting perhaps that rescanning tokens is in general a bit tricky
to use safely. (Certainly if possible I find other ways of solving
problems.)
