Just stick to using \\ for each \ if you need to specify \ in paths or
arguments to helpers.

The reason to why strwordtok is used in helper specifications is to allow
for quoted arguments with spaces. In future \ may be used to allow
specification of other "strange" characters such as tabs, backspaces,
newlines etc, but as of yet we have not needed such functionality.
