Log Message:
Pull up following revision(s) (requested by aymeric in ticket #753):
        usr.bin/vi/ex/ex_argv.c: revision 1.14
In argv_exp3() where we cut a line into args, check for '\' as the escape
character instead of using the IS_ESCAPE() macro which tests for ^V because the
former is mandated by the standards, and the latter is insane.
This is a very small part in addressing PR bin/26046 by lukem@.
Before, in order to escape a special character, you had to use a literal ^V,
which is type ^V twice before the character; whereas now, you use \.
Because the fix will remain partial for a while, you have to remove \ from
your shellmeta option otherwise the \ is swallowed by the invoked shell that
handles arguments expansion.
Please complain if you want ^V^V to also work, but please don't call me a
heretic.
