Can the backslash be escaped, too? If so I don't

Smalltalk is an OO programming language that had some dominance in the late
80's through much of the 90s. It has proceeded to more or less commit suicide
through a variety of mechanisms.
By 'drop' I meant 'drop the context of the remarks', which in the original post
was discussing Smalltalk's d

Um, yes, emphatically yes. You missed the context, which was Smalltalk, and it
is terms of Smalltalk that my reply is couched.
Yes, Python returns None.
Smalltalk returns self by default.
Given the dropped context, you are correct.

Can the backslash be escaped, too? If so I don't think your regex does what
