That's why I constructed that example :)
I think it would be useful to have a (new, meta) quote, which fully
hides contents from bash-interpretion
so that (perl-)strings can be built without thinking of quoting/escaping.
Would it be useful / possible to change '...' so that nothing _except_
\' ist interpreted, I think that would be a nice solution --- or use a
new (unused???) character.
- Is it worth to forward it to the bash-experts (perhaps sb of them
reading this...)
Thanks for that many answers!
