Subject: more wishes for chrismas

I'd like to add two things to the christmas wishlist:

1) back slash to escape a single character or alternatively
2) make '#' introduce a comment only at the beginning of a line or
   if preceeded by white space only.

Our new students find it difficult to quote emacs backup file names when they
want to move or delete them.
