  |    There may be a way to do it properly with backslash_quote set,

That causes \ to always be a quote (more or less) wherever it appears,
so single quoting doesn't defeat it.   Michael's version (the one where
he had horrible key bounce...) would probably work OK.

The solution is just to \\ every place a \ is needed (which is what Michael's
solution did originally), and my version of the solution becomes:

	alias Q4 "sed -e 's/"'\\\\$'"//g'"

which leads to

	alias Q4
	sed -e 's/\\$//g'

which then works, as what sed sees is the same as the other way.

It probably doesn't really need saying, but global options like that
which fundamentally change syntax are a truly terrible idea.
