It isn't and it doesn't. If there are no file names with embedded newlines, both "^" and "\`" do the same. The "should" is to remind this issue to those who want their customizations DTRT with newlines in file names; previously, they needed to figure that by themselves, or learn it the hard way. > This incompatible change should be mentioned in the NEWS. There was no change, except in the doc string (and in the value suggested during customization). No code changes, and the default value is still nil. Can we close this bug, please? (Ts-ts-ts, such a nice bug number.)
