> If I could stealthily patch the compiler for any language supporting the "\v" escape so I'd receive mail whenever it occurred in source code, then I could trace actual uses of it. I'm willing to bet that all the mail would come from beginners trying to figure out what the heck "\v" actually does, and then giving up when they realize it doesn't do anything. Whilst it's true that I've never actually used `\v`, I have included it in code before to cover genuine, necessary edge cases...
