Revision set query dialog support for backslashes (without escaping) in file names.

Hi,
Working on Windows, when I open up the revision set query dialog, I would like to paste a relative file name and query for it. On Windows, the relative paths are represented using backslashes. However, because these need to be escaped, I manually have to edit them. As an example, I would like to query for:
file('src\fem\no\ind\myfile.cxx')
Because I need to escape, the query can be accepted like these:
file('src\fem\no\ind\myfile.cxx') -> escaped
file('src/fem/no/ind/myfile.cxx') -> forward slashes
Is there an existing way of skipping converting backslashes to forward slashes or escaping them? If not, could you please add an option for not needing to escape the backslashes? I think not all users would need this option, but on Windows it would be a time saver.
Thank you! Kind regards, Iuri
