Differentiate from original is easy - once you see \\'XY' you catch an error
and ask user to fix.
But once you started using that newer scheme -- indeed, it's another.

But as long as Tcl.pm changes are very hot, it will be easy to change this
back, because you remember what you recently did.
And, again, once you'll rename EV->Ev, you'll get diagnostic quickly and
will fix them.

This is not what I need :)
As long as there is no simpliest to user just Ev('X'), any reasonable scheme
is fine to me.

Jeff, will you perform renaming EV->Ev? Please?

I will be very grateful.

Best regards,
Vadim.
