Literal Escaping - Paragraph: Is it outdated?

[iampi31415]

I am reading on nightly, and referring to this paragraph

I was reading the PR and was surprised it was merged in 2021-2022 but the reference still shows the old behaviour.

I believe that this comment is pointing out the same. but I thought an issue would be reasonable.

However, I do not observe the changes yet but only a warning from the compiler; is there outdated there?
The merge of the PR should've changed the behaviour from what I can understand in the paragraph, but didn't; so maybe it's not planned to be changed after all!

Thanks for the report! Sorry I'm not quite clear what this is asking. No changes have been made to the language. That paragraph is stating that we might change it in the future so that it has some other behavior, but that is not something that has been decided.

The PR you are referencing and that is linked in the text just added a warning stating the same thing as the note. This is a potentially confusing behavior, and we recommend to avoid it.
