F' and G would require backslash doubling only when a literal backslash appears at the end of a line. If a line ends with multiple literal backslashes, then only the last one would or should be doubled. F and GP would require backslash doubling when a literal backslash appears at the end of a line, and also when a literal double-backslash appears anywhere (in which case both backslashes would need to be doubled, \\ -> \\\\). Other backslashes could be doubled for consistency, but that would be optional. These proposals all provide for syntax-level line folding and for including arbitrary text. So also do P, P', and Q.
