I recommend a simple scheme of simple characters and escape sequences. Borrowing from our Message Sniffer rule coding, how about _ as a space, and if you really need the _ character itself then you use \_. Then you also have to use \\ when you want the \, but that's a small price to pay and it's easy to code.
