Dear James, Thank you. I trust you appeciate that for somebody used to the C and Python-style handling of the reverse solidus, such as myself, the difference beteen this rule and the C/Pythn rules, which would have converted n backslahes into n/2 backslahes for even n and (n-1)/2 backslahes plus a backslash, this is disconcerting and confusing. When I look at ``line 1 \\\ line 2`` and ``line 1 \\\\\ line 2`` I see <start>line 1 \line 2<finish> and <start>line 1 \\line 2><finish> The question is thus not one of which approach (G or P-prime) is more confusing, but one of which one is more confusing for whom?
