command-parsing: You *cannot* escape the delimiters of balanced strings.
Originally the page said: > No other escaping takes place in balanced strings. ...but in the course of a general readability rewrite (56287da) this was changed to: > Characters may be escaped in the same manner as those for quoted strings. ...which is not actually true; probably this change made it in because there were a lot of good changes in those commits and we didn't read them all closely enough. Now the documentation is correct again, and I've added some examples covering the problems people occasionally ask about (see #2760).
