I think backslashes and curly brackets are dropped - plus, of course, there's no way to deal with character sets. This is intimately mixed up with another long-standing need to simplify the way stuff gets sent to the GUI - preferably in a way that would allow plugging totally non-TK GUIs in front if/when the oportunity or necessity comes. So this will be a major re-code, probably warranting its own release number.
