Technically the man page is correct, when speaking about the screen binary
itself.
The man page does not know that we ship a default /etc/screenrc that
removes the CTRL-A CTRL-\ binding,

The section for the quit command actually gives a good reason to remove
that binding.

I'd suggest to drop CTRL-A CTRL-\ from the binary and simplify the man page
and the default /etc/screenrc accordingly.

cheers, JW-
