&lt; * -Eventually enable escape_string_warning and standard_conforming_strings
&gt; * -Enable escape_string_warning and standard_conforming_strings
&gt; * Make standard_conforming_strings the default in 8.3?
&gt;
&gt;   When this is done, backslash-quote should be prohibited in non-E''
&gt;   strings because of possible confusion over how such strings treat
&gt;   backslashes.  Basically, '' is always safe for a literal single
&gt;   quote, while \' might or might not be based on the backslash
&gt;   handling rules.
