Ok, now i see what you mean.
I think my problem was that, because of "however", i had thought that
in the description you contrast some new behaviour with some other
behaviour that existed already. As in "this patch makes $xxx and #xxx
do blah. However, \xxx won't do blah - it continues to do foo as it
used to".
Sigh. "However," and "In contrast," mean _exactly_ the same.
Besides, \xxx is indeed untouched in behavior and continues to do foo
as it used to. It is now special-cased (while it shared code and
behavior with $ previously) but indeed, the behavior for it is exactly
the same as before.
