+       Backslash cleanup in Elisp source files
+
+       This patch should not change behavior.  It typically omits backslashes
+       where they are redundant (e.g., in the string literal "^\$").
+       In a few places, insert backslashes where they make regular expressions
+       clearer: e.g., replace "^\*" (equivalent to "^*") with "^\\*", which
+       has the same effect as a regular expression.
+       Also, use ‘\ %’ instead of ‘\%’ when avoiding confusion with SCCS IDs,
+       and similarly use ‘\ $’ instead of ‘\$’ when avoiding confusion
+       with RCS IDs, as that makes it clearer that the backslash is intended.
