Description

the folowing lines are failing

assert "\\$"=="
"+"$"
assert "\\\\"=="\\"+"
"

but the following are not

assert "
$"=="$"
assert "\\\\"=="
"
assert "\\\\\\"=="\\"+"
"
assert "\\\\\\\\"=="\\"+"
"
assert "\\\\\\\\\\"=="\\""\\""
"
assert "\\\\\\\\\\\\"=="\\""\\""
"

2 backslashes are reduced to just one backslash, and the dollar sign seems to "consume" the leading backslash
