Indeed, I found on page 43 the example:
sage: 123 + \
: 345
468
which does not work presently. The first mention of "\" as an operator is
on page 16
Right. According to the Sage Developer's Guide, "Deprecated code can only
be removed one year after the first stable release in which it appeared,"
so it will work for at least a year, and then someone would have to take
further action to remove it completely.

I assume that deprecation means that for a year or so people can still use
the backslash but will see a deprecation warning. This could last for quite
a long time, so existing code would not immediately break.

So, if we deprecate it, we will have problems with the doctests
asociated,... and with the book.
I don't like the backslash for solving linear systems, but even Julia
has adopted it, probably for Matlab users...
