Can the "<" (less-than/left angle bracket) char be escaped with backslash in 
Vim keymaps? Or to put it otherwise: which characters can be escaped with a 
backslash in a keymap? 

:help mbyte-keymap says:

# The lines after "loadkeymap" are interpreted with 'cpoptions' set to "C".
# This means that continuation lines are not used and a backslash has a special
# meaning in the mappings.  Examples: >
#
#       " a comment line
#       \"      x       maps " to x
#       \\      y       maps \ to y

but I seem to remember having used `\<` and it worked. I guess that's what is 
implied by "Examples"?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm writing something which parses keymaps and 
turns them into another something which a third something can use to 
transliterate strings.  Currently I'm using `\\(["\\])` to match backslash 
escapes, but I suspect it isn't enough.
