<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>Maybe. I am not sure I would necessarily want to go down that rabbit hole. We would then have to add code to also escape the backslash and end up having to do the same thing we did in #2312 . I would rather not end up with a pattern along the lines of <code>[^\\](\\\\)*\${name}</code> to match “<code>$FOO</code> not preceeded by an unescaped backslash”.<br />
My bug report was a bit over-zealous and since there were already cases in the past for which variables were expanded inside of double quoted strings, I think we may as well wait and see if anyone is actually hit by this.</p>
