This is certainly not Best Practice as the warning is
annoying for a reason.

Best Practice would rather be something along the lines:

        Avoid coding in a way that triggers "WARNING: 
        nonstandard use of escape in a string literal". If you
        cannot comply with this rule document your reasons.
