I had a chat with the tools team recently and, in the course of things, it was implied
that the double backslash approach we have now was both surprising and non-intuitive. 

This got me thinking that we may have thrown the proverbial baby out with the bathwater.
That is, currently we have a header that reads:

  NOTE: '\\' line wrapping per BCP XX (RFC XXXX)

So why not *also* support a header that reads (note the singe slash):

  NOTE: '\' line wrapping per BCP XX (RFC XXXX)

Whereby this second form only supports the folded line continuing on column 1 (no indents).

Thoughts?
