Based on Hans' previous posts, I really think he knew that, and was 
asking:
   (1) does \ do anything in command mode?
   (2) does mapping 'u' mess up other (seemingly unrelated) functions,
       the way mapping space bar breaks the ~ function?

BTW:
 - is there a way to pipe just *1* line through a filter?  I find things like
!jsome_command<return>
always send two lines.  Also, is there an easy way to have *add* filtered
output rather than have it replace the input?
