Perhaps I misunderstand the problem, but I would just assume that if the
user specifies %% and doesn't use NE then they want the %% escaped. If,
on the other hand, they specify NE, then they don't need to use the
special %% or \% notation. They can just use % and it will be passed
through untouched.
