Sorry, one more thing. :-(
Let me add that I am not 100% sold on the idea either, but using the
logic I outlined, I don't see how we can continue to do nothing about
this issue, and I am afraid delay will only make an inevitable fix
harder. Maybe we will have to wait 2-3 years before we can make a non-E
string handle backslashes literally.
