Seconded.

Stefan (and others), did you have a chance to think about / look further
into this?  I’d probably use any workaround, unsightly as it may be, if
it meant I’d get to keep the backslash prefix for the input, instead of
my changing it to the forwardslash—it’s a bit hard to rewire years of
muscle memory.
