Comment (by johnbillion):

 -1 on introducing a slew of new functions just to address this issue.

 The only time the current expected slashes behaviour is a problem is when
 the content you're passing to one of the affected functions contains a
 backslash which isn't escaping another backslash.

 Might it be possible to run a regex within in each of these functions
 which tests for double backslashes and then treats the content as slashed
 or not slashed accordingly? Effectively allowing the functions to accept
 both slashed and non-slashed content?
