Fair enough. I don't think it will fully make them go away for good, as you mentioned "[...] except for specific cases like .bat files or tests for parsers that need to accept such sequences." Something somewhere is bound to work before the transformation, and no longer after. It's possible that that will be more rare, though I would say 100 reverts in all of LLVM history isn't really that much either, all things considered.

I am not saying this isn't a problem at all, but how often has anyone done a one line change and caused a 50k diff, and submitted it without noticing?
