I was referring to what happens when multiple consecutive backslashes are followed by an escapable character, which you characterized as confusing.
It is confusing. We're programmers, we're used to dealing with these kinds of obscure syntaxes. Typical MediaWiki users are not.
Oh, I agree with that. But then, if a user is delving deep enough into templates to have any use for escape characters, they're ipso facto more or less programmers already (at least scripters).
