One could argue they are different concepts, but that would be prioritising absolute purity over simplicity and clarity. The current \() method is simple, clear, and easy to type and read. It's also compatible with the use of \ as an escape character which is a huge plus. I don't think it makes sense to replace it with another character simply for absolute purity's sake, especially if such a substitution would introduce another character that would require escaping.
