Subject: Re: gsub("\\", "\\\\") seems unintuitive

Just as a side note, this is typical in all real programming languages.
C, C++, Java, Perl, sh, etc.
I _believe_ it's also true in python, lithp/scheme, & (o)caml, but for
those I've either not used them, or not used them in so long I'm
unsure.

Some languages, like vb{6|script|.net}, use a doubled quote, but those
aren't really proper programing languages ;)
