I have received very few replies to my suggestion that we implement
E''
for escaped strings, so eventually, after a few major releases, we can
have '' treat backslashes literally like the SQL standard requires.
I assume this is because most people say, "yea, it is going to be a
pain,
and yea, we should probably do it".
A summary of the plan is at:

To my mind your recommendation for 8.3
8.3 - Have non-'E' strings treat backslashes literally.
would require a major version change, to 9.0 instead of
8.3, as it breaks forward and backward compatability.
But that's just the way I see version numbering working,
not necessarly how postgresql does it.
