With either choice, you have unhappy users. But I am open to
suggestions.

Well, in f0003, backslash is part of the standard Fortran character set.
So I'll find it awfully hard to accept as reasonable a default that
doesn't conform to the standard. But then I'm one of those who has
always thought that doing backslash processing on Fortan code was an
unreasonable default, so just consider me biased.
