I heartily agree with weiner's comments on changing the backslash usage to
an exclamation point thereby changing a style that has been worked around
in the international UNIX world already.

In fact I would appreciate the ability to use the
exclamation point character as "not" and "/" (for "!=" instead of having
to use "/="). A personal mapping file, preprocessor, or whatever to allow my
taste (and many Unix/C programmers taste) would be extremely nice.
