Follow-up Comment #1:
Oh, no--this is going to be hard. We need something we can read back because
interpolations are frequently nested.
We have to either accept \- everywhere we'd accept '-' (but what if the escape
character is changed), or translate '-' to '\-' only when we know we're going
to an output device, and that's hard to know because the whole point of
diversions is to hide that information.
Postponing.
