JsLint's apparent distaste of the backslash in strings is making it impossible to lint code like this: https://github.com/busterjs/buster-terminal/blob/master/lib/buster-terminal.js#L32, which prints colorized output to the terminal via ANSI escape sequences. It would be nice to be able to disable that check for legitimate uses of the escape character.
