Backslashitis

Hi,

I have a column declared as array of text. I can get a single backslash into one of the array elements by
update ... set mycol[1] = E'blah \\here'
If I try to update the whole array
update ... set mycol = E'{"blah \\here"}'
the backslash is missing. I can get two backslashes there.
Is there a good way to solve the problem, other than rewriting my update script to do array updates one element at a
time?
