The only people who could get hurt with this patch are those who do have a path that ends with a backslash (e.g. 'hello\') and have been matching it with a pattern that literally match with it, but even then they should have been quoting it at the end of the pattern (e.g. as 'hello\\'), so the new parsing rule would not be confused, I would think. So, I like it.
