Huh?  It's different that what other unix shells use -- people are used to
`\' suppressing aliases, so it's only natural that they'll try it in eshell.

As to your point about aliases vs. eshell builtins, I have no idea.  I'm not
sure whether people really care about the distinction or not (personally I
only use \ in specific well-known circumstances; given my restricted usage,
I'd probably be happy enough if \ only suppressed aliases).
