If you are asking me about a proposed change, I thank you for the
consideration :-)

Please dont take the following too seriously -- I am just spoilt by the
fact that I am an old programmer.

Here is a command I ran on the org sources and its output:

$ grep -r '\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' .
./contrib/lisp/ox-groff.el:          "\\(\\\\\\\\\\)?[ \t]*\n" ".br\n"
output)))


./lisp/ox-latex.el:            "\\(\\\\\\\\\\)?[ \t]*\n" " \\\\\\\\\n"
output)))
./lisp/ox-latex.el:              "\\(\\\\\\\\\\)?[ \t]*\n" " \\\\\\\\\n"
contents)))
./lisp/ox-odt.el:            "\\(\\\\\\\\\\)?[ \t]*\n" "<text:line-break/>"
output t)))
./lisp/ox-man.el:      (setq output (replace-regexp-in-string
"\\(\\\\\\\\\\)?[ \t]*\n" ".br\n"
./lisp/ox-html.el:         "\\(\\\\\\\\\\)?[ \t]*\n"
./lisp/ox-html.el:           "\\(\\\\\\\\\\)?[ \t]*\n"
./lisp/ox-texinfo.el:            "\\(\\\\\\\\\\)?[ \t]*\n" " @*\n" output)))
./lisp/ox-texinfo.el:             "\\(\\\\\\\\\\)?[ \t]*\n" " \\\\\\\\\n"
contents)))
./lisp/org.el:    (looking-at "\\\\\\\\\\($\\|[^\\\\]\\)")))

So sometimes we need that much ESCAPE-ing.

I realise that the general support for escaping in org is much harder than
in a programming language like lisp because there are so many different
contexts and different entities to escape.

However I would also like to humbly submit that if one doesn't have
systematic general escaping, there will always be legitimate uses that will
not be addressable.

Anyways… if you are doing this just for me (!) very kind of you!
For now I am getting along using '꞉' (Unicode 0xA789).

Regards,
Rusi
