I like this approach :)

But I agree. Release Manager Ned has the final say, but I think this 
change can comfortably go in during the beta period. (I also disagree 
that it's a big change - nobody could agree on the 'obvious' behaviour 
of backslashes anyway, so chances are people would avoid them anyway, 
and there was strong consensus on advising people to avoid them.)

Cheers,
