Currently:

$ dash -c 'foo=a; echo "<${foo#[a\]]}>"'
<>

This is what I expect, and also what bash, ksh and posh do.

With your patch:

$ dash -c 'foo=a; echo "<${foo#[a\]]}>"'
<a>

Does the attached look right as an alternative? It treats a quoted backslash the same way as if it were preceded by CTLESC in _rmescapes. It passes your test case and mine, but I'll do more extensive testing.

It causes preglob's string to potentially grow larger than the original. When called with RMESCAPE_ALLOC, that can be handled by increasing the buffer size, but preglob also gets called without RMESCAPE_ALLOC to modify a string in-place. That's never going to work with this approach. Back to the drawing board...

There is a way to make it work: ensure sufficient memory is always available. Instead of inserting CTLESC, which caused problems, CTLQUOTEMARK+CTLQUOTEMARK can be inserted instead. It's effectively a no-op here.

It required one obvious additional trivial change to the CHECKSTRSPACE invocation, but with that added, the attached passed all testing I could think of. Does this look okay to include, did I miss something, or is there perhaps a better alternative?
