[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35911] Backslash escaping in regexprep replacement string incompatibility

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #35911 (project octave):

John, your patch works.  I thought there must be an existing routine for doing
string escapes but couldn't recall the name.  

I'd like to limit this behavior, because it is counter-intuitive, to a Matlab
compatibility mode.  Do you object to a new configuration variable?  We
already have things like allow_noninteger_range_as_index and
do_braindead_shortcircuit_evaluation.  Some possible names

interpolate_single_quotes
interpolate_matlab_single_quotes
do_braindead_quote_interpolation
matlab_single_quote_interpolation
matlab_single_quote_mode
