Hi all, namedev_parse is a bit overzealous when in comes to handling backspaces; it always eats up backspaces regardless of anything beyond that. This means it is impossible to enter '\t' in a rule. Quite a bit of fun when you're trying to write regexps. The attached patch fixes that, so now you should be able to use '\t' and '\\' within the rules file.
