Folks, message heard, I'll see if I can add a global option for escape-all-but-tab. HOWEVER, my question was a different one ;) I was talking about escapes for script expressions, inside constant strings. So If $something contains 'aaa<escape here>bbbb' then ... This was triggered by Radu's question on how to escape backslash. With that said: do we need more than \\, \', \xhh inside script constants?
