   * string.  This is handled in different ways, depending on the

   *
   * If preserveBackslash is true, then the existing backslash at the
   * end of inputString is preserved, and a new backslash is appended.
   * That is, the input |\| is transformed to |\\|, and the
   * input |'\| is transformed to |'\\'|.

   * If the backslash appears in a string context, then the trailing
   * backslash is dropped from inputString.  That is, |"\| is

   * If the backslash appears outside of a string context, then
   * U+FFFD is appended.  That is, |\| is transformed to a string
   * with two characters: backslash followed by U+FFFD.
