//! Character escapes are a construct that occurs in the [string][] and
//! [text][] content types.
//!
//! They’re formed with the following BNF:
//!
//! ```bnf
//! character_escape ::= '\\' ascii_punctuation
//! ```
//!
//! Like much of markdown, there are no “invalid” character escapes: just a
//! slash, or a slash followed by anything other than an ASCII punctuation
//! character, is exactly that: just a slash.
//! To escape (most) arbitrary characters, use a
//! [character reference][character_reference] instead
//! (as in, `&`, `{`, or say `	`).
//! It is also possible to escape a line ending in text with a similar
//! construct: a [hard break escape][hard_break_escape] is a backslash followed
//! by a line ending (that is part of the construct instead of ending it).
//!
