Comment (by sbrandt):
The use of \ was a hack in the first place, used because the line+regex based parser couldn't figure out what was going on if an expression continued on another line. The Piraha parser does not have this limitation. In fact, you could delete \ from all files that currently use them and Piraha would have no trouble. (Although, since the old parser still runs in addition to Piraha, you can't do that right now.)
I think the 's are horrible to look at and make code harder to read.
It makes more sense to me to change the documentation. Maybe we should discuss on the next phone call?
