I agree. I'd like q/.../ to stick as close to giving me ... as possible.
I can live with the current 'foo\\bar' having only one backslash in it,
but I'd rather not have to worry about anything else. I'd vote for
Glenn's allowing the disabling of interpolation in qq// and <<""
instead.

Does it strike anyone else as odd that 'foo\\bar' eq 'foo\bar'?
