I agree the "" style would match other languages and things quite well and might be clearer, but breaks backwards compatibility, though not horribly. We could start with the \ method, and if that is too painful, add a "" method. They would be complimentary. Certainly most syntaxes that have "" also have \ escaping. Internet search input is one notable exception.
For this, I had thought about using some kind of flag (checkbox) to decide the parser you want to use for a given patch. I didn't enjoy the idea, but saw it as necessary for the transition. (?)
