I don't know (and don't care much ;-).
I understood that Richard decided that using `\' was the best solution
to whatever problem started this thread. To that someone said that on
Windows, users cannot be expected to use `\'. Someone else then said
that there are no aliases on Windows and no character to disable alias
substitution. My message was the response to that last claim: there
_are_ aliases on Windows (through `doskey'), and the characters I
suggested disable alias expansion in that case.
I wrote that to give people who are discussing the matter information,
not to express my views on whether it is a good idea to use an
OS-specific character in this specific case.

I agree that, in general, OS-specific defaults should be avoided, but
Emacs does have them here and there.
