It's worth noting that the E'...' syntax does not fire if there's any
whitespace between the E and the '. If by some chance there are
actually people out there using a type "e" with this syntax, they are
only in trouble if they wrote it with no space, and they can fix it by
adding a space. So I'm not very concerned.
Having said that, though, I'm agin back-porting this. We don't
back-patch feature additions, and this can hardly be described as
a bug fix.
