That's the problem with adding escape characters. Currently the only delimiters we have is | (and [[ ]] {{ }} pairs). That's why i only talked about {{|}} which will never happen (as | is an invalid title).
However, Jim's proposal shouldn't need so if the \ is only treated as a escape character if followed by | (would still break some current code at templates and parserfunction, but much less).
