Yes and yes. ;-)
But imagine the impact on some "alternates". Example:
old: set
alternates=(sven|guckes)(-[a-z]*)?@.*(\\.fu-berlin.de|slrn.org|vim.org|gmx.net|gmx.de|usa.net|guckes.net)|[EMAIL PROTECTED]
new: set
alternates=(sven|guckes)(-[a-z]*)?@.*(\\.fu-berlin\\.de|slrn\\.org|vim\\.org|gmx\\.net|gmx\\.de|usa\\.net|guckes\\.net)|kraut@kens\\.com
16 more backslashes - eek!
