The documentation describes an ``escape'' character syntax, which strips the subsequent character of special syntactic significance. Problem is, one would like an escaped character to be treated as an ordinary ``word'' character, so that fill commands do not wreck havoc. E.g., ``A\ B'' should be treated as a single word if ``\'' is an escape character. Unfortunately, this appears not to be the case. I suspect it's a judgment call whether this should be the definition of standard escape, but some ``escape-to-word-character'' syntax is merited.
