Deprecating the backslash seems like a bad design choice to me. The
ellipses from Matlab are cute, but stupid and hard to parse, and the
backslash is better and conforms to many Unix languages.
Same with "#" (good) versus "%" (silly) for comments
I would add a warning when the backslash is encountered, but keep it in the
language indefinitely, just in case any maintainers are listening.
